Traffic ticket Question? Does 3 violations on a ticket count as 3 points or one? Will Traffic School Clear it?

I recently got a traffic ticket that contains 3 seperate violations on it. I was wondering if the 3 violations on the same ticket count as 3 points or one? Also, if I am eligible to take Traffic School, will the traffic school clear up the whole ticket, including all 3 violations? I am based in Los Angeles, California. Thanks.Traffic ticket Question?

There is a possibility it will be neither 3-points or 1-point. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code section 12810, subdivision (j), you will be assigned points only once per traffic ticket, and it will be the higher of the violations.





Borrowing Art's example, you're cited for speed over 100 MPH (2-points), unsafe lane change (1-point), and failure to signal (1-point). The court will not allow traffic school for the 2-point violation, but may find you eligible to take traffic school for the two 1-point violations. This is of very little benefit in regards to points since it will not clear up the whole ticket. You will still be assigned 2-points against your license regardless of whether you take traffic school or not.





Presuming you're not a commercial driver, I can say for certain that you will not be assessed 3-points. But with the information you have provided, I can only speculate as to whether you will be assessed 2-points or 1-point.

Why did Drewy say three different citations for? While California does give its law enforcement officers the discretion to use as many carbon papers as they please, it is very unlikely they will choose to do so. Regardless, only one violation from a single occasion will receive a point count.

Depends on what the violations were and the points ';awarded'; for each. You could have 3 violations that each carry 2 points. Most officers write one ticket for each violation.
Depending on local policies and judicial procedure, you may be able to get that thrown out. it is supposed to be one violation per citation. Check into it.
There isn't a limit to the number of violations on a traffic stop. I have seen someone cited for 9 violations. There is no law or policy that says one violations per ticket.





Also each violation carries different points. For example speed in excess of 100 MPH is more than 1 point. But failing to use your turn signal prior to lane change might be only one. It depends on the violations.
Hi! The three different citations will carry 3 different points values. To find out how many points each citation will carry visit the Los Angeles PD page and look up your citation number for your specific violations. This might also tell you the cost of the total citations if you don't know it already. Often times if you go to court and try to fight the ticket, the judge will throw out the lessor one, or even 2 of the offenses. I did this to a ticket I got and had it thrown out with no points on my record! If this happens, traffic school should clear up most of the citations especially if they are 2 minor and 1 major as your minor ones might be thrown out in court. If you have a clean record stress that in court. AND fight the ticket because chances are, you'll end up getting another. I've fought 2 so far and gotten out of them all.
