No, your insurance company usually will not find out you are attending traffic school. In fact, one of the primary reasons you attend traffic school is to prevent your insurance company from ever finding out about the citation.
When you receive a traffic citation, such as for speeding, there is a certain period of time before that citation appears on your driving record. The DMV gives you ample time to contest the citation and have your day in court. Also, for some qualifying citations, you’re given the opportunity to attend traffic school in order to prevent the citation from ever appearing on your driving record.

Why Clear Your Driving Record?
There are a couple of excellent reasons for wanting to expunge a citation from your driving record. First of all, if the citation pushes you over the points limit, the DMV will suspend your license. Secondly, citations usually lead to a rise in your insurance premiums. So attending traffic school and preventing a citation from appearing on your record has a lot of advantages.Insurance Premiums and Your Driving Record
The DMV does not notify your insurance company that you’re attending traffic school, and neither should you. If for any reason your insurance company finds out you received a citation, they’re not obligated to honor traffic school. They can and likely will raise your premium. If you want to make sure a citation has been removed from your driving record so that your insurance company doesn’t find out, order your driving record today. You can check with the DMV, but ordering online is the easiest way to obtain your driving record.Post Comment for "Will my insurance company find out I am attending traffic school?"
