Lakea J., CTThis is by far the best defensive driving course I have taken so far and I will DEFINITELY use it in the future and recommend it to others. The funny photos and comics keep it entertaining and it is very easy to navigate, read and understand. Kylie G., CTThis was the best driving school I have ever attended and I have learned a lot and this course have opened my eyes to drive more careful and more safe a respect people on the road Ronald B., CTWonderful course!! I liked it very much. It gave me a lot of tips. Although I am a careful driver, I have to tell all my friends about this course. Jacob G., CTMy husband and I just finished the course and now our four kids are taking it. It was fun and informative. After 33 years of good driving you really do realize there are some things that you forget about or don’t realize you could do differently. Nancy C., CTGreat course. Much more convenient than spending hours in a class. Richard R., CTI found the course very helpful and informative. I have suggested it to several of my friends and coworkers in an effort to help mankind on the road. David S., CTGreat and easy experience to be completed at ones leisure. Lizzette S., CTVery informative and convenient to do. The test is educational. Mukul V., CTI actually learned a few things and I have been driving for over 50 years!!

Deanna J., CTI really enjoyed taking this course because I learned a lot of facts I did not know before hand. I am only 20 years old and I remembered a lot from my drivers education class, but I learned a lot still by taking this course. Danielle C., CTTook course through internet first time ever in my life. It was very easy, relaxing, fun and interesting. Misuk B., CTYou were recommended to me by a family member and I am very glad I took their recommendation. I really did learn a lot of things I did not know (or forgot) about driving. Also saw how my attitude is a major factor in how I got a ticket, I was in a rush because I left late and blamed everyone else on the road for driving too slow. Yea right, my bad! Margaret H., CTThe humor definitely made this course palatable! I would recommend this course hands-down to anyone needing to do traffic school. Nadeen H., CTI wish I did not have to complete the course, but I had a great time. Eugene R., CTI felt it was more convenient to take it at home where you could stop and start as needed. The content kept my interest. The humor aspect made the course much more enjoyable. Would definitely take this course again. Cheryl B., CT
Connecticut Defensive Driving
More information to help you make the right choice.
If you are found guilty of traffic violations it can affect your driving record by having points added to it by the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If you obtain too many points your license can be suspended or you will have to take a mandatory operator retraining program.
If you need to have traffic tickets dismissed or to get your car insurance premiums reduced defensive driving courses are an excellent option for you.
If you voluntarily sign up to take a defensive driving course you will learn essential information on becoming a safer driver and how to avoid accidents and future traffic tickets. You may also be eligible for lower insurance rates.
The following information will inform you about Connecticut’s defensive driving courses as well as operator retraining programs.
Operator Retraining Programs in Connecticut
The Connecticut DMV will require you to participate in an operator retraining program or driver improvement course if you are:
- Guilty of driving in a construction zone on the highway in excess of 75MPH.
- A CDL driver and was guilty of driving in excess of 65 MPH in a highway construction zone.
- Guilty of receiving two suspensions or violations and are under 24 years old.
- Guilty of receiving three suspensions or violations and are 25 years old or older.
If the Connecticut DMV requires you to complete traffic school they will provide you with a deadline to complete the course.
For more information on your local traffic school or driver improvement programs you should contact one of the following:
- National Traffic Safety Institute: (866) 455-6874.

- Driver Education Station: (800) 381-8729.
- A Better Connecticut Driver: (866) 236-6989.
You can expect to spend 4 hours in your defensive driving course and it will cost you approximately $60 to complete.
NOTE: Online courses are not available at this time through the Connecticut DMV for those needing to complete the operator retraining requirements.
Your driver’s license can be suspended if you do not meet the deadline that the Connecticut DMV has set for you.
Connecticut Defensive Driving Options
Even if the Connecticut DMV hasn’t required you to attend traffic school you can still voluntarily sign up to:
- Get traffic tickets dismissed as well as any driving record points.
- Acquire a lower insurance rate for your car.
The court that is handling your tickets or your insurance company will determine if you are eligible to benefit from taking defensive driving classes.
Traffic School Can Get Tickets Dismissed
If you recently pleaded not guilty to minor traffic violations your court may give you the option of dismissing your tickets by completing a defensive driving course.
Each individual case is determined by the courts depending on exactly what the offense is.
Earn Car Insurance Discounts in Connecticut
To earn insurance discounts for your car you have the option of voluntarily taking defensive driving courses.
Usually insurance companies only offer discounts to teens or senior citizens over the age of 62. However, many companies offer it regardless of age now, so check with your current company to see if you are eligible.
