Are you required to go to traffic school for a citation for driving solo in the carpool lane?

Traffic School??In most states traffic school is offered as an option and most of the time if you go through with it the court agrees to take the ticket off your record upon completion. As far as the violation goes, it is a moving violation and it will count as a point, just like a speeding ticket. Such a violation could also raise your insurance rates as well not to mention go on your driving record for at least 3 years. If this is your first ticket in the last 3 years and have no other previous violations or accidents, I wouldn't recommend traffic school personally, but that's just me. If you're real particular about your driving record or just don't want a ticket period, go to traffic school.
