1) The traffic school should be licensed by the DMV and accepted by all courts.
Be aware of national providers that may not be licensed in California. The last thing you want is to spend your day earning a certificate that won’t help you and isn’t accepted by all courts.
2) Make sure the traffic school offers same-day processing and reporting.
Selecting a school with same-day processing and reporting is critical if you are running close to the deadline. You want to choose a traffic school that will submit your certificate to the DMV/court the same day that you complete the course to avoid any delays.
3) Traffic school fees should be all-inclusive.
You will see many traffic schools offering courses for a very low fee, just to find out that you will be required to pay mailing, reporting, processing, and other fees to get what you need. Make sure the total price is disclosed upfront so you know what you are getting for that price. The average price for DMV-licensed traffic school is between $19 to $29.
4) Ensure the traffic school reports your certificate to the DMV/court for FREE.
You want to find a school that will submit your completion certificate to the DMV/court. The last thing you want after you’ve completed your course is to spend another day trying to submit your certificate to the DMV/court.
5) Traffic school should allow you the ability to complete the course at your own pace.
Courses with timers force you to stay on the page whether you finished the material or not. Courses with no timers allow you to complete the exam at your own pace. If you select a school with timers, it’s important to find out how difficult the final exam is and if you can retake it for free if you don’t pass the first time. You want the easiest chapter quiz that is multiple choice and a school that offers unlimited retakes.
6) The course offered should be mobile and cross-device friendly.
Finding a course that is mobile and cross-device friendly provides the maximum convenience. Cross-device courses allow you to start on a desktop, then continue working on your mobile device, then come back to your desktop. You want to be able to work on the course at any location and on any device that is most convenient to you.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) allows drivers to take traffic school only once within an 18 month period from violation date to violation date.
The court may approve traffic school for a driver with a commercial driver’s license if the eligible offense occurred in a noncommercial vehicle. After completion of an approved program by a driver with a commercial driver’s license, a conviction will appear on the driving record at the DMV, but a point will not appear for the offense. Commercial Drivers must call to have their driver's license corrected. For additional information contact the Driver Safety Unit at (916) 657-6525.
