No Confirmation Needed

No, you do not need to get confirmation from your insurance company regarding which traffic schools are approved. You only need to check with the court or the DMV for a list of state-approved traffic schools.

Why Go to Traffic School

The purpose of attending traffic school is to get the state to dismiss a moving violation from your driving record. One of the biggest reasons for doing that is to prevent your insurance company from ever finding out about the moving violation in the first place; otherwise, they can raise your premium. Notifying your insurance company about a moving violation won’t help you in any way.

If you’re eligible to attend traffic school to get a violation dismissed from your driving record, it will either say so on your citation, or the court will notify you. Usually, you’ll be eligible if you have a valid driver’s license and haven’t already attended traffic school for another recent citation.

Once you confirm you’re eligible, check with the court or the DMV as to which traffic school are approved. You do not ever need to contact your insurance company to get confirmation on traffic schools.

Review the Driving Record

Keeping your driving record clear is of great importance in maintaining low insurance premiums. So check your driving record today to see what’s on your record. You can contact the DMV, or to make it easier, just order your driving record online. It’s fast and easy.
