Can I attend traffic school as a means of having my citation amended or to reduce the points on my drivers license?
Generally, if the citation was not for a serious traffic violation (5 points or more) and you have not had an accident or other moving traffic violation in the past three years, you can attend traffic school in order to have the citation amended to a non-moving violation. Only the traffic Judge can authorize you to attend traffic school and receive the benefit described above. If you complete the traffic school as directed and supply proof of the completion within the allotted time period to the court clerks office, neither the original nor the amended charge will be reported to the DMV. Traffic School is separate and apart from the court. You will be charged a fee to attend class.
