Overview of Traffic School Process
Within a couple weeks of getting the traffic citation, you should get a Courtesy Notice explaining your fine amount and if a mandatory court appearance is required. You should get the Courtesy Notice in the mail at least 10 days before any appearance date. Remember, if you don't receive a Courtesy Notice for some reason, it is your responsibility to appear on or before the appearance date listed on your traffic ticket.

Traffic School Eligibility

- You must not have already attended traffic school within last 18 months.
- You have a valid driver's license.
- You weren't speeding 25mph (or more) above the posted speed limit
