Traffic school for stop sign violation?

[gillian59]

I got a ticket the other day for a stop sign violation (going maybe 2 mph, and not stopping entirely to 0 mph). I probably won't go to court since it's hard to win these judgement calls against a cop.

Can I go to traffic school for this violation so that I do not get points added to my insurance? The rules for my county state that to be eligible for traffic school "You must not have been cited while driving with a Class A, Class B or Commercial Class C driver's license or while driving a commercial motor vehicle." (http://www.sanmateocourt.org/court_divisions/traffic/traffic_school.php) This is confusing. Does this mean I do not qualify since I got the ticket while driving with a class C license (commercial)? But this seems to list looks like it includes all classes of licenses. Does this mean I can only go to traffic school if I get a non-driving infraction, like a parking ticket?

Note that it's not your county's rules, it's statewide.

I'm not an expert, but logic determines that yes, it does mean that you cannot do traffic school, since you were driving with a commercial C license. And the list of excluded licenses apparently means that traffic school is reserved for "civilians" driving with a basic Class C license.

I guess your reading comprehension skills are as poor as your driving skills.

I will save you the hassle of going to driving school.....stop means stop, not slow down.

You get an F. Pay the fine
