Things You'll Need:
- Internet access
- Court information
-
Step 1
Check availability. The Department of Motor Vehicles’ website provides links to all 50 states. Click on the state you are interested in to find out if it offers an approved online traffic school program.
-
Step 2
Satisfy legal requirements. Confirm that your “state of choice” recognizes online traffic schools. Verify that any legal obligations will be fulfilled.
-
Step 3
Surf the internet. Search for “online traffic schools” to find other schools. Most also have links to approved courts.
-
Step 4
Compare costs. Tuition averages between $24.95 and $39.95 and comes with a 100 percent money back guarantee. Ask if your state offers a 10 percent discount with proof of AAA membership.
-
Step 5
Verify exam location. While most states allow participants to complete the final exam online, others require the test be administered in the presence of certified instructors.
-
Step 6
Meet your needs. Confirm that your state’s traffic school is approved for your desired purpose (i.e., eliminating points, reducing insurance rates, dismissing tickets or improving your driving skills).
-
Step 7
Select an approved web browser. Some online traffic schools specify which web browsers are compatible. Most can be downloaded for free.
-
Step 8
Confirm that completion certificates will be issued. Be sure you will receive email verification once you have finished the course. A hard copy of your certificate also should be mailed to the court.
