Is it possible to get points removed from my license for a traffic ticket?

Yes, it is possible to get points removed from your license for a traffic ticket in California. The process is known as traffic school and can be completed by taking a state-approved traffic school course. Once you’ve completed the course, you can request that the points be removed from your driving record, and the DMV will remove up to one point from your record. In order to take traffic school, you must meet certain requirements. You must have a valid driver’s license, be 18 years of age or older, and have committed a traffic violation. You must also be willing to pay a registration fee for the course and a fee to the DMV for the point removal. You can take the course in person or online. It consists of lectures, videos, and tests designed to teach safety and traffic laws. Once you complete the course, the DMV will be notified by the traffic school and will adjust your driving record accordingly. The point removal is only valid for a certain amount of time, usually 18 months, and the ticket will still count as a conviction. If you’ve already had points removed from your license from a previous traffic school course, you will not be eligible for point removal from a traffic ticket. However, you may still be able to reduce the fine or have the charge dropped by the court.
