Does traffic school remove points?
In California, traffic school allows you to prevent a point from being added to your record for an eligible traffic violation. When you complete traffic school, the conviction is reported as a confidential conviction on your driving record, meaning the point is masked and not visible to insurance companies or employers. This prevents the point from affecting your insurance rates.
How often can you do traffic school in California?
You are eligible to attend traffic school once every 18 months to mask a qualifying traffic violation from your public driving record. This 18-month period is calculated from the date of the first violation to the date of the second violation, not from the date you completed traffic school.
