The traffic clerk at the Torrance courthouse is notoriously busy.   Lines can be over 2 hours most days of the week.   The traffic clerk’s office in Torrance includes both the court clerks as well as the dreaded collection agency of GC Services for those unfortunate enough to have a failure to appear or FTA which may be holding or suspending your California Drivers License or even an out of state license.    For many people, the visit to the courthouse starts with waiting over an hour in line, only to be told when your reach the clerk that you actually need to go the window to the left to deal with GC Services.   The clerk for the criminal and limited civil divisions is located in the main larger courthouse and features equally slow and understaffed customer service.  Most days the criminal and civil clerk’s office will have a good line going and only one employee at each window.
