Whether you are signing up to take GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving online course to have a ticket dismissed or to save money on auto insurance, you will really enjoy the convenience of taking your course online instead of taking it in a classroom. You will be able to take the course on any computer so long as the computer has internet access. As you work through the course, you will be able to stop and start as often as you want and not worry about losing any work you've already completed. GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving/ticket dismissal/insurance reduction online courses normally consist of about 8 to 12 chapters, and each chapter is divided into subsections. Each chapter concludes with a short, all-multiple-choice quiz which is designed to help prepare you for the final exam at the end of the course. After you've passed your final exam (and you have unlimited opportunities to retake it until you do pass), GoToTrafficSchool.com will send your completion certificate to you via regular mail (at no extra cost to you), or by FedEx 3rd, 2nd, or Overnight Delivery for an additional charge.

Absolutely! GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/ticket dismissal course is designed for you to be able to stop and start as much as you wish without losing your work. It's very convenient!
Will taking defensive driving online through GoToTrafficSchool.com get my ticket dismissed? What if the court doesn't approve it?
When you register with GoToTrafficSchool.com to take a defensive driving/point reduction/ticket dismissal online course, you will immediately be given details regarding approval in your state. If you are still uncertain if your local court will accept GoToTrafficSchool.com, you can always contact the court directly and ask. That way you will know for sure.
Is every traffic ticket eligible for dismissal by taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving/ticket dismissal online course, regardless of what the particular violation is?
There are certain traffic violations which are considered "too serious" to be removed from your record (an example would be causing a fatal accident by reckless driving).
Most states/jurisdictions place a limit on the number of tickets you can have dismissed. For example, some states only allow you to have one (1) ticket erased from your record every 12 months. In other states, it may be only one (1) every 5 years.
GoToTrafficSchool.com provides information regarding eligibility during the registration process, however if you are still not certain, you may want to contact the local traffic court which is handling your case to see if your particular citation can be dismissed by taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving/ticket dismissal online course.
Will the court dismiss my ticket if I take defensive driving online instead of in a classroom?
GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving class may be taken in place of a traditional, six-hour classroom course if GoToTrafficSchool.com is approved in your state or jurisdiction for ticket dismissal. You will need to contact the court which is handling your case to see if GoToTrafficSchool.com's online course is approved where you live.
Will the traffic court dismiss all of my recent tickets if I take and pass the defensive driving course GoToTrafficSchool.com offers over the internet?
Very unlikely. Except in extremely rare cases, the court will only allow a defendant to have one (1) ticket dismissed by taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving course or online ticket dismissal course.
Also, you are normally allowed only one (1) ticket dismissal every 1 to 5 years, depending on the state. If you want to know for sure if your current ticket is dismissable, you probably should contact the court which has jurisdiction over your case and inquire.
Will I need to prove my identity before I can take GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/ticket dismissal course?
It depends on what the court in your particular jurisdiction wants to do. Most traffic courts require no form of identification at all, and if that's the case, then you need not worry about it.
However, some courts do want to prevent the possibility of someone taking the course (and the final exam) in your place, so they may require that a limited credit check be run on you, that the answer sheet of your final exam be notarized, or that you take a proctored final exam. GoToTrafficSchool.com will inform you whether or not the court in your jurisdiction requires ID verification. If they do, do not take it personally--they just want to make certain that you are the person who is actually taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/driver improvement course.
Are GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving/insurance reduction courses only offered online?
Although online is the most popular format among GoToTrafficSchool.com's customers, we do offer our defensivie driving/insurance reduction courses in several alternative formats as well: We offer DVD defensive driving, workbook defensive driving, and streaming video defensive driving.
