Can You Really Dismiss a Traffic Ticket?
Yes — in most cases, if you received a traffic citation in California, you can attend a DMV-approved Traffic Violator School to mask the violation. This means the point won't appear on your public driving record, which can help you avoid insurance rate increases.

How the Process Works
Step 1: Request Traffic School from the Court
After receiving your ticket, you'll need to request permission from the court to attend traffic school. You can typically do this:
Step 2: Pay the Ticket Fine + Administrative Fee
You must pay the full bail amount (fine) PLUS an administrative fee (usually $52-$65). The traffic school option costs more upfront but saves you from insurance increases that can cost hundreds per year.
Step 3: Complete a DMV-Licensed Traffic School Course
This is where we come in. FasTrak Roadside offers a DMV-licensed online traffic school course for just $39.99 — available in both English and Spanish.
Our course is:
Step 4: Certificate Sent to DMV
Once you complete the course, we report your completion directly to the DMV through the TVCC (Traffic Violator Course Committee) system. You don't need to mail anything.
How Much Can You Save?
A single point on your driving record can increase your insurance premiums by 20-30%. For the average California driver paying $2,000/year in premiums, that's an extra $400-$600 per year for three years.
Traffic school cost: $39.99 (our course) + court admin fee (~$60) = ~$100 total
Insurance savings: $1,200-$1,800 over three years
That's a 12x return on investment.
