No, your citation will not be dismissed if you fail traffic school. You must pass traffic school and receive a certificate of completion in order to have a citation dismissed from your driving record.
Importance of Passing Traffic School
From the DMV’s perspective, traffic school is useful because it helps people better learn the rules of the road. Passing traffic school means passing the final test and proving you learned the material. If you haven’t learned the material, the DMV has no reason to reward you. Therefore, if you fail traffic school, your citation will not be dismissed. Keep in mind that many traffic schools, especially online traffic schools, will allow you to retake the final test as many times as you need to in order to pass traffic school. So it’s awfully hard to fail traffic school these days, unless you take an in-person course or violate one of the rules, such as by showing up late or cheating.Make Sure You Get Credit
You’re obviously spending the time and money on traffic school because you want the points and the citation removed from your record in order to keep your insurance rates low or prevent your license from being suspended. So don’t ruin the opportunity by failing traffic school. Take traffic school seriously and pay full attention. The final exam is not difficult, so you really have no excuse for failing traffic school. Once you’ve passed traffic school, check your driving record to make sure the citation has been expunged from your record. You can contact the DMV, but it’s much easier to simply order your driving record online.Post Comment for "Will my citation be dismissed even if I fail traffic school?"
