If you have a traffic ticket, how can you find out if the online traffic school that you choose is court approved?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Telephone or Internet connection

1. 
   Is your online traffic school certificate worthless?

   There are online traffic schools that will let you sign up for and complete a program for a court that their program has not been approved in. At that point the certificate that they issue to you is worthless.
   
   The first thing that you will want to do is go on the court' s web site or call the court that issued your citation.

2. 
   Verify your online traffic school.

   Most courts post a list of court approved online traffic school options directly on their web sites. If you call the court on the telephone, a court clerk will be able to verify the voracity of the online traffic school that you are interested in.

3. 
   Online traffic school monitoring agancies.

   If you go to a court' s online web site, they may also have a link to a third party responsible for approving traffic schools in your state or county. These third parties also conduct ongoing monitoring of approved online schools to assure that required standards are being maintained.

Tips & Warnings

• Do check out one of the most established court approved online traffic schools - www.trafficinteractive.com.
• Do not assume that an online traffic school is approved by the court or your state just because they say so on their web site.
• Do read the fine print during the sign-up process for all online traffic schools. You might find a tiny note in the fine print indicating that it is your responsibility to determine if that particular online traffic school is approved.
