Traffic School
Unfortunately, Georgia does not offer traffic school as an option for keeping the ticket off your driving record. For speeding tickets, the judge may offer to reduce your speed to keep it under the requirement for reporting to insurance companies. The catch is you'll usually have to accept a guilty plea.
