Overview

What Is Traffic School?

Traffic school is a state-approved driver safety program that allows eligible drivers to resolve a traffic citation, reduce points on their driving record, or prevent insurance rate increases. Depending on your state, completing a traffic school course may allow you to:

  • Dismiss or mask a traffic ticket from your public driving record
  • Prevent points from being added to your license
  • Satisfy a court order or DMV requirement
  • Qualify for an auto insurance discount

Most traffic school courses are available online, self-paced, and accessible on any modern device, making it easy to complete the course on your schedule.

Note: Requirements and benefits vary by state. Always choose the course approved for where you're licensed or cited.

Classroom courses take place in person while online versions take place virtually, using any device connected to the internet.

Other than that, all traffic courses, whether 100% online or in-class, must follow a similar set of guidelines. They generally teach the same material.

You'll notice that online versions use a combination of video, audio, text, and quizzes. Multimedia delivery keeps your attention and keeps you engaged throughout the program.

The presentation and difficulty levels will vary depending on the traffic school you pick. However, it's important to note that there are requirements for how long the course must be and who can pass the class. These are under regulation by the licensing authority and will be the same across the board.

The essential difference between the two is convenience. If it makes more sense for you to show up and learn in person, that's your choice. And if you'd prefer to go through the material on your own time at home and have fun while completing it, we offer the perfect solution!
