California Courts Traffic & Ticket Basics

If you are cited for a traffic infraction, you must follow through with the "Pay or Appear" date on the ticket.

Courtesy Notices are mailed but not a requirement or intended as an extension for time.

Pay or Appear date is critical, do not overlook or wait for the notice.

Citation Resolution Options: There are five options available.

  1. Forfeit bail and pay entire amount of assessed fine (Your DMV record will be affected)
  2. Show proof of correction for 16028(a) (no insurance), 4000(a) (no vehicle registration) and mechanical and pay reduced amount of correction fee (Your DMV record will not be affected)
  3. Request traffic school and pay entire amount of assessed fine plus $57.00 traffic school fee (DMV will be notified of traffic school dismissal)
  4. Contest violation and request trial IN PERSON, prior to your due date. If appearing in person, you need not deposit bail first before attending Court or seeing the Judge.
