Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear about your predicament. I looked the TS thing up online and I hate to break it to you, but 20+ over the limit and NO TS and the ticket cannot be erased from your record.

Who is eligible to take traffic school?
There’s a certain moral order to the rules about attending traffic school. For example; if you’ve been caught driving more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, your speeding ticket can’t be erased by passing traffic school, either online or in person. There’s the kind of speeding that says, “I was listening to the radio and my speedometer crept up seven miles over the limit”, and there’s the kind that says, “I know how fast I’m going, so get out of my way!” The speed limit rule is designed to punish the wanton rule-breaker, while giving the slightly distracted a break. There’s also a logic that says professional drivers should be more careful than the rest of us driving slobs. Commercial drivers can attend traffic school in order to have a ticket dismissed, but it won’t be erased from the DMV record. In general, a non-moving violation will get you a ticket and a fine: a moving violation will get you a ticket, a fine, and if you’re lucky, the chance to take traffic school.

Good luck! I hope the fine is not too steep.
