You are eligible to attend traffic school only once every eighteen
months if you do not have a commercial driver’s license or were
not driving a commercial vehicle when you were cited. 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 suppressing traffic violations from a driving
record.

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

you must have those signed off prior to requesting traffic school.
