I stumbled on your webpage accidentally while researching ways to
fight a traffic ticket and I wanted to point out a conflicting piece
of information that I found.

"by going to trial you've forfeited your eligibility to attend
traffic school, so if you're found guilty you will get whatever
points you've earned."

This link from a lawyers website seems to contradict it:

NOTE: The court can not refuse to give you "traffic school" solely
for the reason that you have exercised your right to go to trial.
Some judges erroneously tell people that, if the person exercises
his/her right to a trial, the court will not let them go to traffic
school.  This is contrary to law.  If that happens, please let me
know.
