When do I pay my fine to court?

All fines must be paid to the court prior to attending traffic school, including any court processing fee that allows you take traffic school.

I have a commercial drivers license. Can I still take traffic school?

If you have a Class A, Class B, or Commercial Class C license, you may complete a traffic school course only for a ticket you received while operating a non-commercial vehicle.

As a result of taking traffic school, the violation is not added to the point count used for determining negligent operator status and license suspension or revocation. However, as is required by federal law, the California DMV will still disclose the conviction to insurers and for any other purposes required by Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
