San Francisco Superior Court Hall of Justice Traffic Division Information

Question (submitted on 9/23/2020)

Just chatted with SF Traffic Court with some questions. Sounds like I'm eligible for your traffic school but I want to make sure. I have concerns about eligibility, I cannot find the detailed list on the court website. I also am not sure the best contact info for the actual court for traffic tickets. And how do I formally request trafficschool? See the chat below i pasted for reference. Can you fill in the blanks for me about eligibility?

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:11
What you can do, is go to our website - select pay citation, and add the traffic school option. You want to make sure you are eligible to take traffic school as well. You can also go to room 145, where they can assist you with a reduction of the fee form, plus traffic school.

Cappy 10:12
Ok thx. Us there a eligibility reuirement checklist
is there*

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:14
You can call our office and they can check if you are eligible for Traffic school, but that would require you giving your information over the phone for them to check. Or you can do it in person as well.
It also depends on the speed you were going.

Cappy 10:15
ok thsx again. i was 20 over. ALso i have CDL. Does that matter?

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:15
For example, if it is 3rd tier speed, you will be ineligible.
Yes. If you were pulled over in CA , you need a CA DL in order to take traffic school. But, that also depends on your eligibility, and the speed of the ticket.

Cappy 10:17

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:18
Yes, they are.

Cappy 10:18

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:20
Were you driving your own personal vehicle? or a Commercial vehicle at the time you were pulled over?

Cappy 10:20
my own car

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:21
Got it. With the speed you were going, you should be eligible for traffic school if you have not taken it within the past 18 months.
Once traffic school is complete, you will need to call a specific number informing them that you are a commercial driver and that you completed traffic school.

Cappy 10:21
Great thx again. Do you knwo that number?

Traffic LC Agent - San Francisco Court 10:21
One moment.
Driver's Safety Phone: 916 657 6452
You will need to call once traffic school is completed.
