3. What are the advantages of attending school?
If you are eligible for traffic school, hold a non-commercial driver's license and successfully complete traffic school, the Court will notify DMV of a conviction that will be kept confidential. It will not show on your public record, nor will the point be assessed to your DMV record.
I've always believed that traffic school only masked the ticket from insurance but that LEO's/courts could still see them on your record...
this seems to support that position (non-official source though)
Is this your first ticket?
