You have three options:

  1. You can either pay the ticket fine and be subject to increasing auto insurance rates, while racking up points on your driver's license.
  2. You can fight the ticket in court and hope it gets dismissed.
  3. Or, you can attend a defensive driving, or traffic school, course to have your ticket dismissed. Such courses instruct you on traffic and driving laws in your state, so that in addition to having your ticket dismissed, you're also making a conscious effort to better your driving knowledge.
While there's nothing wrong with the first two options, this article will focus on the third option - traffic school. In order to attend Arizona defensive driving school online for the purpose of having a ticket dismissed, you must first qualify. For instance, to be eligible to fight a ticket via a defensive driving course, you can only attend for one violation and your citation must be eligible. Furthermore, in order to qualify, you can not have attended a defensive driving course for a traffic citation within the previous 12 months.

If you qualify, there are various regulations you must abide by in Arizona. Here's a look at some of them:

  • You must take the course at least seven days before your court date.
  • Are you a non-Arizona resident that was ticketed in Arizona? You still have traffic school options. You can coordinate a class through an Arizona-certified school to take a defensive driving course in your home state. You can also return to Arizona for the class or arrange to take the class online.
