When nailed for speeding, how often can you attend "driver safety classes" to wipe the ticket off your record, and what offenses are eligible for such "masking"?

The California Vehicle Code permits drivers who receive minor moving violations, such as simple speeding tickets, to attend traffic school once every 18 months. Provided you successfully complete the class and pay all fees, the moving violation does not appear on your driving record maintained by the Department of Motor Vehicles—and insurers therefore cannot count the violation against your "good driver" status under Prop. 103.

As a result of legislation (AB 645) passed last year, which took effect Jan. 1, 2008, drivers who are charged with a two-point moving violation (such as reckless driving, hit-and-run, or DUI,) can't attend traffic school.
