SECTION 12 MISCELLANEOUS TRAFFIC INFRACTION RULES RULE 12.01 TRAFFIC SCHOOL This court will permit attendance at a DMV-approved traffic school as a means of obtaining a dismissal of a traffic charge which is susceptible to dismissal upon successful completion of traffic school under California Law. Rules of eligibility and procedures for completing traffic school shall be established by the court, from time to time, and shall be made available to the general public in the clerk's office. (Amended effective 1/1/07) RULE 12.02 TRIALS BY WRITTEN DECLARATION (A) ADOPTION OF TRIAL BY WRITTEN DECLARATION PROCEDURE This court adopts the provisions of Vehicle Code Section 40902 except as limited herein. (B) ELIGIBILITY Any defendant shall be afforded a trial by written declaration for such charges as allowed by Vehicle Code Section 40902 upon written request. (C) REQUIREMENT FOR POSTING OF BAIL Any person requesting a trial by written declaration shall be informed of the requirement to post bail in the full amount specified by the bail schedule. Additionally, the person shall be notified that if he or she would desire to attend traffic school (in the event of a finding of guilty), they are to post the appropriate State Traffic School Fee, in addition to the bail amount.
