Your record will show you were pulled over for doing "X" over the speed limit on such date but that the court dismissed charges/citation.

In CA they charge you an additional $50 in court fees to take this option. In a sense, the court is saying, "Slip us an additional $50 and take some silly traffic school course and we'll drop the whole matter." Kind of like getting pulled over in Mexico.

$50 for a get out of points free card?
Works for me
