Los Angeles County Online Traffic School – DMV Licensed & Court Accepted
If you received a traffic ticket in Los Angeles County, you may be eligible to complete a California DMV-approved traffic school course to keep points off your driving record. iDrive EZ Traffic School is licensed by the California DMV (License No. E0636) and accepted by all 58 California county courts, including Los Angeles County Superior Court. Complete your traffic school 100% online and at your own pace.
You may be eligible to attend 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 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
in excess of 25 miles per hour over the posted speed limit must be ordered by the Judge. - Your citation is for a moving violation and does not require a mandatory appearance.
- You do not have a Failure to Appear hold on license or Civil Assessment.
- The Failure to Appear charge must be adjudicated or paid in full before you can
attend Traffic School. - Violation does not involve alcohol, drug use or possession.
- NOTE: Effective as of July 1, 2011, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) shall hold only one traffic school conviction within an 18-month period confidential. This also applies to non-point count violations, which are not used to determine negligent operator by DMV. If you have attended another traffic school within eighteen months, DMV will not hold your attendance on this citation confidential.
Your traffic citation may be continued for sixty (60) days from date of payment to allow attendance and completion of the Traffic School Program.
