Based on actual user outcomes
That one ticket? It doesn’t go away. It follows you. Fight it now, and you won’t have to explain it later — to your insurer, your boss, or anyone else who runs a background check.
Even a single ticket on your record can lead to painful insurance premium increases. A single ticket could raise your insurance by $36/month for 30 months. That’s over $1,000 lost — when you could’ve fought it for less than the cost of gas for the month.
Traffic school isn’t “no big deal.” It’s hours of your life watching dry videos, answering boring quizzes, and paying yet another fee — all just to keep your record clean. When you fight your ticket the smart way, you skip the school and keep your weekend.
Cops look at your record. If it’s spotless, they’re more likely to let you go with a warning. If it’s not… expect the opposite. Keeping your record clean today helps you tomorrow.

Yes, you must pay the full bail amount upfront when filing your Trial by Written Declaration. However, if you win your case, the court will refund the entire amount. If you lose, you can request a new trial (trial de novo) for a second chance.
