Hello Darren, Under California Vehicle Code (CVC) § 1808.7, traffic school masks one moving violation point every 18 months: - The 18-month timeframe is measured from violation date to violation date, not the date you completed traffic school - Once Sacramento Superior Court confirms your eligibility and you pay the court administrative fee, complete our DMV-licensed course online - Upon passing, we automatically report your completion to the California DMV and the court clerk to shield the citation from auto insurance companies.

Hello Raymond, Once you complete our DMV-licensed California traffic school course, reporting is fully automated: - Our system electronically transmits your completion certificate directly to the California DMV and the Santa Clara Superior Court within 24 hours - The court will dismiss the ticket from public view and the DMV will mask the 1-point conviction on your driving record - We also email you a confirmation receipt with the electronic transmission tracking number for your records.

Hello Marcus, In most cases you can request a one-time 30-day extension from the San Diego Superior Court to complete your traffic school course: - Contact the traffic division clerk or log into the San Diego Superior Court online portal to request a continuance before your Friday deadline - As long as you have paid the administrative court fee and your citation is eligible, the court will typically grant extra time to finish your coursework - Our online course is self-paced, so once you pass the final exam, we transmit your certificate of completion directly to the California DMV and your court electronically.

Hello Jennifer, Thanks for asking. California allows traffic school once every 18 months as a way to mask one point on your record. Since your previous completion was 13 months ago, you would not be eligible until you cross the 18-month mark. To plan around this: - Call the Orange County Superior Court that issued the new ticket and ask about your options - If the 18-month window has not yet passed, courts sometimes offer alternative resolutions like community service or a payment plan - Once you are past the 18-month window, you can take traffic school again We can hold any enrollment until you confirm eligibility, so you do not pay early.
