Traffic School for Deltona Citations

Deltona drivers who receive a civil traffic infraction can often elect to take traffic school. Completing a state-approved course keeps points off your license even though you still pay the fine. This is a common choice for Deltona residents who want to protect their insurance rates from going up.

There are limits on who can use traffic school. You can only elect this option once in any 12-month window. The lifetime limit is three times. CDL holders are not eligible. You must inform the Volusia County Clerk before your 30-day payment deadline that you want to take traffic school. Online courses are accepted and usually take about four hours. Call the traffic division at (866) 234-9790 to confirm your specific Deltona citation qualifies.

Note: Some Deltona traffic violations require a mandatory court appearance and are not eligible for traffic school.

Contesting a Deltona Traffic Ticket

You can contest any Deltona traffic citation. Contact the Volusia County Clerk before the 30-day deadline to request a court hearing. You will go before a judge at the courthouse in DeLand. Bring evidence if you have it. Photos, witness statements, and dashcam video all help.

If the judge rules in your favor, the Deltona traffic case is dismissed. No fine, no points, and nothing on your record. But if the judge rules against you, the fine could be higher than the original amount. Many Deltona residents choose traffic school instead because it is less risky. You pay the fine either way, but traffic school keeps points off your license without the uncertainty of a hearing. That said, if you have strong evidence that the ticket was wrong, contesting it is worth the trip to DeLand.
