Have you heard of courts not allowing you to go to traffic school if you do TBD? I've done TBD before, and when I fought a Long Beach ticket with TBD and lost, they wouldn't allow me to go to traffic school to get it off my record. I thought it was pretty shady.
This is from the website...


What about traffic school if you lose your trial by declaration? In theory, if you lose the trial by declaration, you get a trial de novo, meaning all things are new. The judge should not hold the trial by declaration against you. If the judge denies you traffic school because of the trial by declaration, point out that you are not there for that trial, but, per CVC 40902(d), a trial de novo. You can also point to Vehicle Code section 42005 and People v Wozniak which say you can still have traffic school even after a conviction.
