Traffic School Per California Rule of Court 4.104, court clerks are authorized to grant requests to attend traffic violator school when a defendant with a valid driver's license requests to attend an 8-hour traffic school under certain California Vehicle Code (VC) sections. Common examples include speeding violations, stop sign violations, etc. You are generally NOT eligible for traffic school if: You attended traffic school for a previous violation committed in the last 18 months of your present violation. When cited, you had a commercial driver's license and were driving a commercial vehicle. You were cited for a speeding violation in which the speed alleged is more than 25 miles over a speed limit. You have outstanding Failure to Appear or Failure to Pay charges. NOTICE: If you are eligible and decide not to attend traffic school your automobile insurance may be adversely affected. A traffic school conviction in any 18 month period will be held confidential. It will not show on your driving record if you complete a traffic violator school program.
