Form Header
Clear court name and case identification at the top so the document routes correctly and staff can immediately link the form to the underlying citation or docket number.
A correctly completed plea form clarifies your request to defer points via traffic school, reduces administrative delays, and helps courts route the request to the right division. Accurate forms reduce the risk of rejection, late penalties, or unnecessary court appearances.
The form is used by drivers cited for minor moving violations who are eligible for diversion or point-reduction programs and who wish to avoid points on their driving records.
Courts, municipal clerks, attorneys, and authorized representatives may also prepare or submit forms on behalf of eligible drivers when permitted by local rules.
