Keep the point off your record. Finish tonight.
Our 8-hour course is licensed by the California DMV. Complete it and your eligible conviction is masked — kept confidential from insurers — and we report it electronically to the DMV and your court the same day.
Pay your fine and the court's traffic school fee (typically $52–$55) before you start — the court has to have referred you and you must be eligible.
Check this before you pay anyone.
California only masks one traffic school conviction per 18 months, counted violation date to violation date. Taking the course when you aren't eligible means the conviction lands on your record anyway and the fees aren't refunded.
- You hold a valid non-commercial (Class C) license — out-of-state licenses are fine
- The citation is for an eligible 1-point moving violation
- You've paid the court's fine and traffic school fee
- You haven't completed traffic school for a violation in the past 18 months
- The violation is a major 2-point offense — DUI or reckless driving. Courts can't send those to traffic school for masking.
- You were driving a commercial vehicle when you were cited.
- You already have a traffic school completion inside the 18-month window.
- You hold a commercial license — you can still take the course, but the conviction isn't kept confidential, though no point is counted toward negligent-operator status.
Not sure? Call 800-772-0682 with your citation in hand and we'll go through it with you. Vehicle Code §1808.7 governs masking; your court decides your referral and deadline.

California questions
Is my ticket erased?
No school can erase a ticket. An eligible conviction is masked — held confidential so insurers can't see it — and no negligent-operator point is counted against you. A judge can still see it if you're cited again inside 18 months.
How long does it take?
As long as you need. There are no timers, so most students read straight through in one sitting and take the final the same day.
Do I mail the certificate to the court?
No. We submit your completion to the DMV and your court electronically the same day you finish, at no charge, and email you a copy for your records.
Can I take it twice in a year?
You can take the course, but California masks only one traffic school conviction per 18-month period, measured from violation date to violation date. A second one inside that window is unmasked and a point is charged.
What if I miss my court deadline?
Ask the court that sentenced you for an extension — the DMV has no authority to grant one. Call us and we'll tell you where you stand before you miss it.
