Traffic School, Done Online

When should you take traffic school instead of fighting?

Traffic school is usually the right move when a citation carries no fight-worthy defect and you simply want the points hidden and the matter closed quickly. It generally works best when:

• You don't hold a commercial (CDL) license — most CDL violations and some serious charges don't qualify for school at all.
• It's been 18+ months since your last school — for most violations, school is only available once per 18 months and is at the court's discretion.
• The violation is eligible — reckless driving, DUI-related charges, and most CDL offenses are not school-eligible.
• You're OK paying the fine — traffic school doesn't dismiss the ticket; it hides the points once completed.
• Your record can't absorb another point — a clean record matters for insurance rates and your driving history.
