Traffic Schools

Attending traffic school is a way for drivers to avoid adding points to their driving record often resulting in higher insurance premiums

Personal classroom attendance students meet at a location determined by the traffic school, where they receive instruction on road rules and driving safely. Some schools provide free pizza while other schools provide struggling standup-comedy instructors.

Back when the Covid Pandemic was in full swing, online traffic school quickly came the most popular choice. The benefits of online traffic school include:

  • You can take the course in the comfort of your own home or wherever you have access to a computer
  • You can work at your own pace (as long as you meet the court’s deadline)
  • You don’t have to worry about making reservations for a class or locating a building
  • In some cases, it may be less expensive than regular traffic school

Keep in mind, however, in 2023, not all states allow traffic courses to be taken online for all traffic offenses such as drunk driving.
