You will be eligible to request a trial by written declaration if you are charged with a traffic infraction or a local ordinance that is under the Vehicle Code. The exception will be if you were issued a ticket that involved either drugs and alcohol or it requires a mandatory appearance in court.
In a trial by declaration, you send in a written statement, along with any evidence you have, to the court to explain what happened. You generally also send in payment. The officer who wrote the ticket then gets a chance to send in their own written statement. A judge then reviews both and mails you a decision.
Trial by declaration The court will ask for a statement from the law enforcement officer who wrote the ticket. The judge will review your and the officers statements and then make a decision. If the judge finds you not guilty or lowers the fine, the court will refund any money.
If you do not want to or cant come to court, you can ask for a trial by written declaration. In a trial by declaration, you send in a written statement, along with any evidence you have, to the court to explain what happened. You generally also send in payment.
If the judge denies you traffic school because of the trial by declaration, point out that you are not there for that trial, but, per CVC 40902(d), a trial de novo. You can also point to Vehicle Code section 42005 and People v Wozniak which say you can still have traffic school even after a conviction.

An arraignment is a court date where a judge tells you what you are charged with and what your rights are. The judge will then ask you how you plea. If you say not guilty, the judge will set a trial date. The arraignment is not a trial.
