Does the court approve online traffic improv courses?
Check your state in the grid below.
Judging by the grid, it seems that very few states or courts outright approve traffic improv courses; however, this doesn’t necessarily mean the final answer is no. Many states approve long lists of in-class and even Internet-based defensive driving courses and within those lists might be an online traffic school that offers the comedy improv courses.
So, think of this grid as outlining the states that specifically put their seals of approval on traffic improv courses as sufficing the traffic school attendance requirements for reducing driver record points, dismissing or lowering the cost of a speeding ticket or other traffic ticket, or otherwise satisfying a court judgment; if the grid doesn’t list your state as one of those, you can always ask your judge, hearing officer, or driver licensing official for more details.
