In NJ your eligible after your 2nd offense i believe, i went to it, gayest thing ever

oh and by the way your an idiot for going 51 in a 25, i think ive heard from somewhere doubling the speed limit is a loss of liscense

is traffic school the same as defensive driving?

if so, in TX i know the answer is no....you can't be going 25mph over the speed limit to be eligible

I'm not positive since every court sets those rules, however I would be surprised if you were denied. I would suggest calling the court and checking first before making up your mind on your strategy. In most instances the courts now mail out an information packet that contains school costs and locations, the amount of the fine and all of the details necessary to speed up the process.

Good Luck. :beer:

Thanks for the help. Its actually not my ticket but I just knew about this section on our forum so decided to ask

No problem, the LA courts are pretty streamlined due to the sheer volume they deal with every day. I would imagine the ticket holder will get a mailing from the courts with answers to all of the important questions. On-Line schools abound here in CA, my wife completed a course on-line two years ago - took about an 1 1/2 hours. She passed..........but I did have to help her out a bit. :beer:

Personally I've taken 2 online traffic schools a while back. 30 min, and I was finished . $18.50 also

I wish tx online traffic school was only 30 mins but its 6 hrs. Owell its my fault for speeding so what can I say

 

[WhiteSaleen248]

You have to find a credited school that lets you bypass the 6HR thing and just take the test like we do here

My last ticket was 2002 until recently.

Radar tagged me at 51 in a 35. Judge took it under advisement for a year and traffic school (2 nights @ $50 each).

Just another money maker if you ask me.
