California Department of Motor Vehicles’ traffic amnesty program ends April 3.

The program provides relief for many drivers whose licenses were suspended because of failure to appear in court or have outstanding court debts. The fines can be reduced by 80 percent depending on income.

Applicants should contact the Superior Court in the jurisdiction where they received the traffic ticket to determine whether they are eligible to participate in the amnesty program. This program does not apply to parking tickets, reckless driving, or DUI offenses.

Courts, counties, and other authorized collection agencies may charge a $50 amnesty program fee.  Also, if reinstating your driver’s license, the DMV will charge a $55 reinstatement fee.
