The Lindon City Justice Court offers Traffic School for minor traffic violations to those who qualify. Traffic School is available online and has two benefits: it removes the points on your license from the traffic violation, and the traffic violation is dismissed.
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.
**Seat Belt Violation, a Vehicle Registration Violation, and a No Insurance or No Proof of Insurance Violation are NOT moving violations and do NOT qualify for Traffic School**
FIX-IT-TICKETS
Fix-it tickets need to be signed off by an Officer then turned into the court within 14 days of the violation to be eligible for dismissal, if you need more time please contact the court so we can assist you with that. You can submit a fix-it ticket for dismissal, Monday – Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Please contact the court with further questions regarding your fix-it ticket.
