It definitely varies from state to state ... in CA there is no guarantee
that you will be allowed to attend traffic school and avoid points. It's up
to the judge. Some of them will not allow traffic school if you have ever
attended before; others will not allow it if you were doing more than 15
over, etc.
Generally though, the clerk will know what the guidelines are, so you can at
least ask in advance of entering a plea of "no contest" (required for
traffic school).
