I think I've been to traffic school at least two times, maybe three. Traffic school is definately the way to go. Awhile back they changed the law that if you got a ticket you could go to traffic school, but if you got another in the same year, you have to pay the fine. It use to be you could only go to traffic school once every two years. I never have done the take home version. I kind of like going there and sharing stories with everyone about all the tickets you've gotten. Its pretty funny what some other people have done.
