Sacramento Superior Court’s Traffic Division lets eligible drivers request Traffic Violator School (traffic school), but eligibility and deadlines depend on the case. Check your case and obtain the court’s approval before enrolling; GoToTrafficSchool’s acceptance for your specific case has not been independently verified.
GoToTrafficSchool lists an online California traffic-school course. The company describes it as self-paced and about eight hours long, and says it reports completion to California. Those are company statements—not confirmation that the course will satisfy the Sacramento court’s requirements in your case. California course information
Check your Sacramento County traffic case
Use the Sacramento Superior Court Traffic Public Case Access System to search by driver-license number, citation number, case number, or cross-reference number. The case record provides related documents and options for resolving the matter.
The court’s Traffic Division page links to case lookup, ticket options, and traffic FAQs. If your case is not visible, contact the court for guidance. A missing online record does not cancel the response date on your citation or notice. Taking a course does not replace responding to the citation.
Requesting Traffic Violator School
Sacramento Superior Court says you may request Traffic Violator School on or before the due date shown on your ticket. Its published options include the Public Case Access System, the Traffic Call Center, the Virtual Public Counter, the in-person counter, and mail or drop box. The court says postmarks are not accepted. After a request is processed, the court’s system provides an agreement showing the completion deadline and instructions. Read that agreement and follow the deadline for your case.
The court lists eligibility conditions based on California rules. Do not assume you qualify: check the court’s ticket-options instructions or ask a traffic clerk before enrolling. Sacramento’s court instructions say certificates are sent electronically to the court. Check your case record afterward to confirm the court received and processed the completion.
Paying or forfeiting bail can end the option to contest a citation; the Sacramento court also states that signing up for a payment plan makes a case ineligible for Traffic School. Review the court’s instructions before choosing how to resolve your case. The court’s payment obligations and a traffic-school enrollment are separate.
If you want to contest the citation, review the court’s available hearing and written-trial options before making a plea or choosing another case resolution. For case-specific guidance, use the court’s official traffic information and options.

California traffic-school information and insurance
California’s Judicial Branch describes traffic school as a way for some eligible drivers to keep a point from appearing on their DMV record. This is not the same as dismissing the citation or erasing the underlying case. Eligibility and court approval apply. Start with the California Courts traffic-school guidance.
Traffic school is not a guaranteed insurance discount. Whether a completion affects your insurance or qualifies for a particular benefit depends on the applicable rules and your policy. Confirm any insurance question with your insurer. The specific GoToTrafficSchool course’s qualification for your case or insurance benefit has not been independently verified.
