Don’t let a traffic ticket affect your driving record or insurance rates — take our basic traffic school course to keep your record clear.
The state DMV understands drivers are humans, and every human makes an innocent mistake once in a while. That’s why traffic school exists!
Millions of tickets are written for moving violations every year. Traffic school is a way to keep a moving violation from messing up your driving record - along with a few other benefits!
What is traffic school? It’s kind of like continuing education for licensed drivers.
Traffic school is essentially a defensive driving course that prioritizes safety above all else. These courses are meant to remind drivers how to stay safe on the road and improve their driving habits so they avoid moving violations and costly collisions.
Each state establishes its own regulations for traffic school in terms of who can take it, what is taught and how the course is conducted. Typically, the course is about 4-8 hours long and can be taken in a classroom or online through an approved provider.
Many people take traffic school for ticket forgiveness. As long as you haven’t taken a traffic school course within the last 12 months, completing the class can keep points off your driving record.
Taking a refresher course on driving best practices is never a bad idea. You’ll probably also learn a few new defensive driving techniques that can improve your skillset.
Insurance companies love safe drivers. They love them so much, they’re willing to provide auto insurance discounts to drivers that complete traffic school. Instead of being penalized for a moving violation with a higher premium, taking a defensive driving course could save you money.
