ASHLAND MUNICIPAL COURT TRAFFIC SCHOOL PROGRAM
Ashland Municipal Court does offer a traffic school program. This is a good option if you are concerned about the conviction going on your driving record.
The Traffic School Program is a program designed to allow drivers the opportunity to recognize and review their driving habits, attitudes, and behaviors. Generally, you can go to traffic school if:
• You were cited for a moving violation that does not involve an accident.
• You have no previous moving violation or traffic crime convictions within the last two years.
• You have not participated in another Traffic School Program in this Court or any other court in this state or any other state that resulted in the dismissal of the charge within the last two years.
• You have a valid non-commercial driver license or permit.
• You meet all other eligibility requirements.
When you sign up for the Traffic School Program, you have 120 days to pay the Court Traffic School Program fee in full and complete the Court approved traffic school class. When those conditions are met, the Court will dismiss the charge.
THERE ARE NO EXTENSIONS FOR ANY REASON.
