This also applies to letters from GC services. When you pay GC services for a ticket about which you have never come before a Judge, then you are actually pleading guilty to the ticket and all the violations, and if you were ticketed for a moving violation you are putting at least one DMV point on your record. We recommend you do everything you can to avoid DMV points going on your record so your insurance rates do not increase.
We recommend you think twice about paying GC services or the court for tickets involving moving violations and instead consider fighting the ticket or doing traffic school, if you are eligible. If you claim that someone else committed a violation on your record, you can request a DMV hearing.
If you are convicted of a traffic violation in another state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or Canada, the California DMV will put one point on your driver's license record if they find out about an out-of-state traffic ticket you received.
