Traffic School Questions for Cell Phone Ticket

Cell Phone Violation

Question (submitted on 11/4/2021)

Hello,
I reside in Irvine, CA and I received a 23123.5(a) cell phone violation. This is my first cell phone offence, I saw a notice on your site that said the first ticket does not require traffic school and will not add a point to my record. However, the police officer stated that there would be a point added to my record and my insurance would go up on the first offence. Could you confirm? Thank you.

Thank you!
