Can I attend traffic school as a means of having my citation amended or to reduce the points on my driver's license?

Generally, if the citation was not for a serious traffic violation (five points or more) and you have not had an accident or other moving traffic violation in the past three years, you can attend traffic school in order to have the citation amended to a non-moving violation. If you complete the traffic school as directed and supply proof of the completion within the allotted time period to the Court Clerk’s Office, neither the original nor the amended charge will be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Traffic School is separate and apart from the court. You will be charged a fee to attend class.
