Traffic Court is No Fun, But More Information Helps

[edit] TRAFFIC COURTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

Traffic court is the judicial process that handles road violation and traffic ticket cases. In California, traffic cases are handled by the Superior Court. If a California traffic court finds a person guilty of a charge, points or demerits are issued against the negligent driver. A state database of all drivers is maintained by the California traffic courts for this purpose. The more points a person accumulates, the more the likelihood of his license being suspended upon further offence.
