First-Time Traffic Ticket in Oregon? How An Attorney Can Help If Traffic School Isn’t Available

If you’ve received your first-ever traffic ticket in Oregon, your first thought might be: Can I take traffic school to get this dismissed? Unfortunately, Oregon does not have a statewide traffic school or defensive driving diversion program, and not all courts offer local alternatives. That means for many drivers, especially those dealing with a first-time violation, traffic school simply may not be an option.

But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. First, avoid the temptation to simply pay the ticket online. While it may seem like the easiest route, paying the ticket is the same as pleading guilty. It results in a conviction that can raise your insurance rates, and stay on your driving history for years. Instead, it’s often better to explore your options before making any decision.

The bottom line: even without access to traffic school, first-time Oregon drivers often have options, but you must act quickly. If you’re unsure how to proceed, an attorney familiar with Oregon traffic courts can often help reduce the damage, protect your record, and sometimes even get the case dismissed.

If you’re facing a traffic ticket and traffic school isn’t available in your court, contact our firm today. We work with drivers across Oregon to fight tickets, negotiate dismissals, and protect clean driving records, especially for first-time violations.
