I think after a year from your first citation you're legible for Traffic School. At least in California. I lost count on how many tickets I've had since driving. But through fighting and driver school I only have two on my record.
EDIT: Oh yea, I just got pulled over couple days ago, but for a late out dated Registration. My dad opened the wrong mail and used mine.

So the cop wrote me up a fix it ticket but when I got home it said driver not wearing seatbelt. I was postal! WTF? So I drove to the nearst CHP Office and found a Patrol Unit sitting out there. Asked him what I should do and he said that the cop screwed up and put the right code for late reg but wrong description.
