Depending on your state (see grid below) you may be able to trim points from your driving record by enrolling in a traffic school. Before, however, you enroll in the first driving class you see, be sure it is state- or court approved. Most state DMV Web sites provide a defensive driving school list.
If you make the mistake of enrolling in an online traffic school that does not have state- or court approval, you will not receive credit. This means the points you received for a traffic ticket or a speeding ticket will not be reduced.
