Which traffic schools are approved by the court?
Whether you can enroll in an online traffic school or must appear in-person for a defensive driving course depends on your state. Check the grid below; you might even see that your state allows both.
Traffic schools are great options for drivers who need to reduce the points on their driving records; depending on your state, you might even be able to enroll in a defensive driving course to reduce or negate the cost of a traffic ticket or speeding ticket. Be sure to ask about both options.
Keep in mind that even if your state doesn’t allow traffic schools as ways to reduce points or ticket costs, you can still enroll in one to brush up on your driving skills and maybe even get a discount on your auto insurance.
