By taking a DMV-licensed traffic violator school course, you can have one point on your driving record (resulting from a cited traffic violation) hidden for insurance purposes. This may avert an increase in your auto insurance premium, and sometimes, may prevent a cancellation of your driving privileges.
Please note that you may NOT take traffic violator school to mask a point on your driving record if:
You have requested or attended traffic school on a previous violation that occurred within the last 18 months in the State of California; You are a minor under 18 years of age; You were driving a commercial vehicle or carrying hazardous material when you were cited You were cited for a violation which carries a negligent operator point count of more than one point, such as: driving with a suspended license; failing to stop at an accident scene to help; speeding in excess of 100 miles per hour; reckless driving; and engaging in speed contests.
While I’ve had a lot of traffic tickets in my life, last summer I certainly went over my own limit of it… But after paying a visit to this traffic school’s educational courses I’ve had no problem, as my traffic rules knowledge had been fully refreshed!
