Deciding Whether to Pay Traffic Ticket Fines or Go to a Traffic School

With the congestion on the California highways, the amount of defensive driving that is growingly required to drive in California and the mounting distractions we are faced with on and in our vehicles, more and more Californians are faced with being issued a traffic ticket.  If you are one of these unlucky Californians you will have to make the decision of paying the traffic ticket fine or going to traffic school.

While paying your traffic ticket may sound easier and less time consuming, there are definitively negative effects that may not be obvious at the time you pay the ticket.  One not so obvious result of simply paying your ticket is that adverse points may be added to your driving record.  Get enough of these and you may lose your driving privileges in California.  Imagine not being able to drive for an extended period of time.  When was the last time you had to take a bus?  Taxi cabs charge outrageous fees for just going a few miles.  Also, your automobile insurance rates may be adversely affected if you choose to just pay the traffic ticket.

Because of these reasons, many traffic ticket and speeding ticket offenders opt for attending traffic school. There are a number of different delivery options such as in home study courses, classroom style, comedy venues and online classes.  The downfall to traffic school is the time it consumes.  Regardless of which delivery method you choose, you will have to invest your time.  Plus you will still have to pay a certain amount of money. 

Keep in mind that while you are sitting there either fighting with your slow internet connection or in a classroom, bored to death, the following will be going through your mind, “What is the probability that the officer would have shown up in court on my ticket?” and “if he did, what are the chances the court would believe my side of the story versus his.”?   If it was a speeding ticket, chances are you have heard a number of ways to get out of it if the officer shows.  One that comes to mind is “Well I was only keeping up with the flow of traffic!”.  On the other hand many offenders are told by family and friends that the judge will side with the officer in over 50% of the cases.
