Went through past threads and I couldn't find if the judge can still give you traffic school if you decide to fight the speeding ticket? I hear you waive your right to attend traffic school when fighting your ticket, but I also heard they can still give it to you, and even reduce the amount? Much thanks to anyone who could shed some light!

If you decide to fight the ticket be aware you are responsible to pay the whole amount of the fees up front before your court case (yes the full amount of the ticket). If you should win you will be refunded the amount. As far as hoping the cop doesn't show: all officers have an obligation to go to court when subpoenaed for people fighting tickets. This is especially true for CHP whose only goal in life is to give you a ticket coupled with a bad day. For an officer not to show to court he has to give a VERY good reason not to.
BTW if you really believe the officer gave you the ticket in the wrong, when he explains his side don't stand up there and look p/oed and shake your head when he is talking, be civil act appropriately, basically kiss the judges butt don't get on his bad side.
To save you a headache, if there's question you did actually break the law and you're just trying to get out of the ticket then I suggest not fighting it, but go to your court date plead no contest get the reduced fine amount and take online traffic-school, which incidentally has changed up a bit, it used to be that it would only take 4 hours to take it online but they fixed the timer on the page loads on most sites and now it almost ends up being close to eight hours. Sucks huh? sure does. but you can log out and finish it at anytime.
gluck!

I got clocked at 58 in a 40 and yeah its my first offense. I kind of wanted to fight the ticket because my friend gave me a text of strategies on how to fight and win in a traffic case. 58 is pretty close to 20 over so I'm not sure..I just got in the mail bail is $322. =[

do what I did. refer to ticketassassin dot com and contest the case via written trial. 30% of the time popo would be too lazy to submit their version and you'll get it off. (mine failed but I requested for a court trial). court date went to court and was going to plead guilty if the cop shows up, he didnt, so i got dismissed. woot woot!
oh mine was 62 in a 45 zone.
i mean, yes we were speeding and speeding is bad, but who never speed before? what matter most is, we learn our lesson and learn to drive safe. regardless of getting my ticket off or not, i still learned that I should drive safe. and that's what matters.
