Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

There is no special traffic court for juveniles. Eligibility for traffic school is based upon whether or not there has been a prior in 18 months. Or, the seriousness of the ticket or the type of license. In this case, traffic court should be allowed. It will save the points but the fine will be the same plus there will be extra charges for traffic school.

Correction. There is juvenile traffic court for kids your daughter's age. Sorry for the error. But, I am not so sure that it is an error to be assigned regular court. My preference would be to have a real judge hear the case as such a judge in the superior court would have to adhere to the rules of evidence more closely. Juvenile court was established for multiple minor juvenile offenses in addition to traffic to take loads off regular courts with regular judges to handle adult issues. The county superior court where you are located should be consulted because the availability of juvenile court varies.
