When can I start / register for the course?
You may register for and start our online internet traffic school program anytime 24 hours a day, seven days a week without the need to call us. Log on to our internet website at www.warpspeedhomestudy.com and click on the registration tab and follow the prompts.
The FEDERAL/DISTRICT COURTS listed on our website are used for violations received on a Military Base, a Federal Government facility or in a National Park! If you did not receive your ticket in one these Federal locations then you must choose the correct County and Superior court jurisdiction where you received your violation (As noted on your citation).
This traffic school is not approved for L.A. County Traffic Courts. If you rec.d your citation in L.A. County you must contact the court for an approved L.A. County Traffic School.
I am very busy, do I have to complete the course all at once?
No, you can study at your own pace. You will be able to start and stop the course as often as you need. The course can be done at your convenience because your progress will be saved in the system and noted on your student status page.
How do I log back into the course after I have logged off ?

When the student completes the registration process a screen comes up with the User ID and password with instructions to write down the User ID and password because they will be needed to re-enter the course also the program auto generates an e-mail to the student's e-mail address with the User ID and password information so the student will have the information available.
My internet connection in unstable, I have a dial up internet service. What if my connection is dropped ?
If your internet connection is dropped, simply reconnect to the internet and log back into the course and when you reach the course status page re-enter the chapter where you left off.
What if my deadline or due date has passed?
All of the courts are run a little differently. Some require that you pay for your ticket prior to granting permission to do traffic school. Other courts have you attend traffic school first and then turn in your certificate with your bail amount. Either way your court handles it, you are given a completion/due date and this date is to be taken very seriously. If you're due date is within a few days or is past due, you may wish to contact the court and request an extension. Many courts grant extensions and will work with you to allow extra time to complete your traffic school obligations.
When can I take traffic school?
You can take a traffic school once every eighteen months for one traffic violation in one county, court or jurisdiction with the court's permission.You cannot take traffic school for some traffic violations such as: DUI's, manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident, leaving the scene of an accident with injures, etc.
The DMV and the court will now check your driving record to determine if you have already taken a traffic school for a violation any other county,court or jurisdiction within an eighteen month period before giving you permission to take a traffic school.
As of July 1, 2011 your first traffic violation will not be dismissed any longer, it will show as a ( Conviction-masked ) and will be masked on your record with no points on your drivers license record. Any other violations during the eighteen month period in any county, court or other jurisdiction will show as a conviction with points on your drivers license record.
Masking of Citations on your DMV record- There are certain exemptions to having your citation masked on your driving record that you should be aware of prior to completing this traffic school. Your citation will not be masked in the following situations:
A. A driver who has already attended a traffic violator school course within the last 18 months would not be eligible to have their violation masked on their record.
B. A driver who holds a commercial driver license would not be eligible to have his or her violation masked on their record.
C. A driver who holds a commercial driver license from another state would not be eligible to have their violation masked on their record (These prohibitions are authorized under Vehicle Code section 42005 (b) and comply with Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations.)
CVC 43005 (b) Pursuant to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the court may not order or permit a person who holds a class A, class B, or commercial class C driver's license to complete a licensed traffic violator school, in lieu of adjudicating any traffic offense or order that a conviction of a traffic offense by a person holding a class A, class B, or commercial class C driver's license be kept confidential.
D. Pursuant to CVC 41501, a driver who has not paid a deposit of fees or bail, and has not pled guilty or no contest, or has not been convicted by the court of jurisdiction would not be eligible to have his or her violation masked on their record.
E. Pursuant to CVC 42205(c)(2), a driver who has a conviction which would result in a point count of more than one point on the record would not be eligible to have their violation masked on their record
Note: If you have a Class A,B, or Commerical C drivers license you cannot take a traffic school for any traffic violation even if you are driving your personal vehicle after work hours.
I have attended traffic school within the past 18 months. Can I take your online traffic school Program if I've received another ticket?
Most courts have allowed drivers to attend traffic school just once every 18 months. Most courts have applied this same limitation to home study programs but, in certain cases, an exception may be made. Under Section 41501 of the California Vehicle Code, the judge may allow you to take traffic school again to keep a citation off your record, even if you have attended traffic school, or taken a home study program within the past 18 months. In order to do so you'll have to appear before the court with a good reason why you should be allowed to take traffic school again. The decision is at the sole discretion of the court.
