You may be eligible to attend Butte County Traffic School if you meet the following requirements:
- You had a valid driver’s license at the time you were cited.
- You have NOT attended Butte County Traffic School on a prior citation within 18 months + 1 day
of your present citation. - You were not cited for speeding in excess of 100 miles per hour. Traffic school for speeding

If you have attended another traffic school within eighteen months, DMV will not hold your attendance on this citation confidential.
Your traffic citation will be continued for ninety (90) days from date of payment to allow attendance and completion of the Traffic School Program.
