Traffic School Eligibility

1.
You are eligible to attend traffic school only once every eighteen months if you do not have a commercial driver’s license. California Vehicle Code Section 42005 prohibits drivers with a Class A, Class B, or Commercial Class C driver license from attending traffic violator school for the purposes of dismissing and suppressing traffic violations from a driving record.

2.
You may attend traffic school if you are charged with an infraction violation that carries a DMV point count. The time for eligibility is calculated from violation date to violation date.

3.
If the citation contains any additional charges that require proof of correction, you must have those signed off prior to requesting traffic school.

4.
You must pay the full amount of the bail, plus an additional $49 administrative fee, prior to attending traffic school. This can be done in person or by mail.

5.
You are responsible for contacting and attending the traffic school of your choice. You will be required to pay a separate fee to the traffic school you choose. You may obtain a list of DMV approved traffic schools and/or a flyer for the home study/on-line program approved for use in Sutter County at the Traffic Division office. You may also consult the DMV  online form 745 or you may refer to the traffic school section of your local yellow pages to find a classroom in your area. We will mail you completion information when you submit the bail.
