I don't want to go to Traffic School

In some cases we can get a lower fine if you agree to go to traffic school. Level 1 (the most common) traffic school takes five hours to complete. In most cases, you can complete traffic school online, at your convenience. You can even leave and come back, but it will take a total of five hours to complete. The cost of traffic school depends on the court where your ticket is located. The price of traffic schools range from $9.95 to around $45.00. In Las Vegas and Henderson, the higher priced schools are the norm.

How much will the fine be reduced with traffic school?

The fine is not always reduced, even with traffic school. However, it is common to see a fine lower by $100.00 or more if you would like to go to traffic school.

The judge ordered me to attend traffic school. I did not want to go to traffic school!!!

We never ask for traffic school unless you tell us to. In some cases, however, especially in the rural courts, like Moapa Justice Court, the judge will make you go to traffic school if you want the charge(s) reduced to a non-moving violation. If you don't go to traffic school after the judge orders traffic school, the charge will not be amended and it will go on your record. Remember, we do not control the outcome of your case, and we certainly do not guarantee that you will not have to go to traffic school.
