Your court's courtesy notice says whether traffic school is an option for your ticket. California allows it once every 18 months, counted from the violation date of the ticket you last took traffic school for to the violation date of the new one.

When you finish traffic school, the ticket is masked from your driving record. The violation won't appear on your printed driving record, so insurance companies and employers who check it won't see it.

Wait for the courtesy notice from the court, usually 2 to 3 weeks after the ticket. It lists your fine, the court's traffic school fee and your due date. Pay the court, then start the course here.
