Illinois Traffic School - Do I have to Go?

What is the name of your state? IL

I received a speeding ticket a couple of weeks ago. It is my first ticket in 15 years of driving. Is there a way to pay the ticket and avoid traffic school or is traffic school required in Illinois?

Even if I go to court to plead guilty or even try to plead not guilty, I will have to go to traffic school and pay the extra $25? Is it a state requirement or just a money-making scam for the state?

Neither. It's part of campaign finance laws enacted by the Original Pres. Bush....
