Online Traffic School Serving All of Kern County
Kern County covers a large and diverse area of California, stretching from the southern San Joaquin Valley into the Tehachapi Mountains, the Mojave Desert, and communities throughout the southern Sierra Nevada. Drivers travel along major routes such as Highway 99, Interstate 5, Highway 58, Highway 14, and Highway 178 for work, school, business, and everyday activities.
From the busy streets of Bakersfield to the smaller communities surrounding Lake Isabella and Tehachapi, local driving conditions can vary considerably. Freeway traffic, rural highways, mountain roads, agricultural vehicles, and changing weather conditions all make safe driving an important part of daily life.
If you receive a traffic citation anywhere in the county, the Kern County Superior Court determines whether you qualify for traffic school. Once the court authorizes you to attend, you can choose a qualifying online traffic school and complete your coursework according to the court's instructions.

How to Complete Traffic School in Kern County
Before beginning your course, it is important to follow the instructions provided by the Kern County Superior Court. The court has specific steps that drivers must complete before attending traffic school.
1. Review Your Citation and Confirm Eligibility
Start by reviewing your traffic citation or courtesy notice. The court will provide information about your violation, payment requirements, deadlines, and whether traffic school may be available. Eligibility depends on factors such as your violation, driving history, license status, and applicable California requirements.
You can review the official Kern County Superior Court traffic school instructions for eligibility information and the steps required to participate.
2. Complete the Court's Traffic School Request and Payment Steps
Kern County Superior Court requires drivers to follow its payment and traffic school request procedures before attending a course. The court's published instructions include paying the required bail amount and traffic school administrative fee. The court specifically cautions drivers not to attend traffic school before completing the required payment steps, because a course completed too early may not be accepted.
Review the court's instructions carefully and follow the due date and payment directions provided for your citation. You can also visit the Kern County traffic citation payment page for information about handling your citation.
3. Register for One Day Traffic School
After completing the court's required steps and receiving authorization to attend traffic school, you can register with One Day Traffic School. Follow the registration instructions and provide the information needed to associate your course completion with your traffic citation and court record.

How California Traffic School Affects Your Driving Record
One important reason eligible drivers choose traffic school is the confidential treatment California provides for qualifying traffic school convictions. When a driver meets the eligibility requirements, successfully completes a licensed traffic school course, and satisfies the court's requirements, the qualifying conviction generally receives confidential treatment through the California DMV driving record system.
For an eligible conviction, this generally means the violation is masked from public disclosure through the DMV driving record, and a negligent-operator point is not assigned in the ordinary manner. Traffic school does not erase the underlying violation or cancel the original citation. Instead, it provides a specific form of confidential conviction treatment under California traffic school rules.
The Kern County Superior Court explains this process on its Traffic School information page. The court also explains the eligibility requirements and the steps drivers must complete to receive confidential conviction treatment.
Traffic School and California Auto Insurance
Drivers often consider traffic school because they are concerned about how a traffic citation could affect their auto insurance. For a qualifying violation, successful traffic school completion and satisfaction of the court's requirements provide confidential conviction treatment through the California DMV driving record system. This generally restricts disclosure of the qualifying conviction through that record to third parties, including insurance companies.
Traffic school does not guarantee a particular insurance rate or premium, since individual insurance policies and circumstances vary. However, receiving confidential treatment for a qualifying conviction can be an important benefit for eligible drivers. Completing the course also provides an opportunity to review California traffic laws and develop safer driving habits.
Understanding the 18-Month Traffic School Rule
California generally limits how frequently a driver can receive traffic school credit for qualifying violations. Kern County Superior Court's published eligibility information states that a driver must not have attended traffic school for a prior citation issued within 18 months of the issue date of the current citation.
Because eligibility can depend on the dates and circumstances of both citations, review the information on your courtesy notice and confirm your eligibility with the court. Do not assume that completing a previous course more than 18 months ago automatically makes you eligible for another one.
You can review the specific requirements on the Kern County Superior Court traffic school page before registering.
