TRAFFIC SCHOOL
Some states have concluded that traffic school offers the best avenue to reduce future traffic violations, and that an educated driver is a safer driver. As a result, those states allow people who are ticketed to plead guilty or "no content" to minor traffic offenses, pay the fine and then go to traffic school.
Traffic school is a 6 - 10 hour program of instruction on driving safety and traffic laws offered by a state authorized school. After successfully completing traffic school and submitting the proof completion to the state DMV, the violation and the "points" are then removed from your driving record. Nowadays there are also many online traffic schools. But if you rather go to a normal traffic school than an online traffic school, you can go to your state school, like the Florida traffic school, California traffic school, or the state you got your fine in.
Typically the states allow attendance at traffic school to remove a violation from your driving record only once every 12 - 18 months, and only if it is a minor traffic violation.
As to whether traffic school will save you money or not, consider the fact that you will have to pay the fine, and perhaps also an added DMV fee, plus the traffic school's fees, and spend about 6 - 10 hours of time to attend traffic school classes and/or self-study. Consider also the impact on your auto insurance rates if you do not have the points removed.
