TRAFFIC SCHOOL

Do NOT pay your ticket online if you plan to take Traffic School.

If you are interested in Traffic School, you MUST contact the Lindon Justice Court to verify that you qualify. You must register with the Lindon Justice Court before you are allowed to take traffic school. Please note that you may not take Traffic School without first signing up with the court clerk.
