Fast and Friendly
Although The Online Traffic School, Inc sets its course lengths based on state-mandated times, their programs do not bog you
down with useless information. That being said, traffic school isn’t exciting or interesting to most people, but the company
does a good job of covering a wide array of topics without becoming too wordy or boring. Their courses allow you to move at
your own pace, which is exponentially better than attending a classroom course where an instructor controls the tempo.
The material flows along at decent pace; the cogent organization of driving-related topics helps the user interact with the
material, distill the key insights, and achieve success on the final examination.
Traffic School Eligibility
Eligibility for the courses vary by state. Their staff recommends that you contact your court and verify that you are in fact
eligible to take traffic school for your specific violation. If your traffic violation crosses the line between infraction and
misdemeanor, it is best to contact your local court to see if your violation disqualifies you from traffic school.

Overall Impressions
The courses and websites are straightforward and easy to use. It is simple to navigate through the programs and the company
boasts a 24/7 Live Chat agent and 24/7 Call Center support should you run into any snags. These customer service agents were
helpful and professional when I had questions about the course.
Although the programs throw a large amount of driving information at you during the course, the quizzes and final exams
are geared towards your completion and graduation. The company does not try to “trick” you with difficult exam questions.
Overall, the courses offered by The Online Traffic School, Inc and its sister companies were fantastic experiences.
The Online Traffic School, Inc FAQs
Got any questions? Check these frequently asked questions about Online Traffic School below.
Who are eligible to attend this course?
The eligibility requirements depend on the court or department that issued the notice for you to take the program. If required, you will receive documentation from your court that you can enroll in the program.
Take note though that you can take the course anytime for supplemental learning. Some states may even reward point reduction if applicable – you may check with your local DMV or court to confirm.
How often can I take this course?
Usually, if you are taking the course for a DMV or court credit, you can only take the course once for a certain period, depending on the state (around 12 months to 18 months). This period is calculated starting from the day you receive your traffic citation/violation date.
Again, you can take the course as often as you want if you only need to refresh your knowledge.
Is there a deadline for me to complete the course?
Normally, you’ll have 90 days to complete the course after you are approved to take it for ticket dismissal. This may still vary depending on your state so make sure to check your court’s instruction carefully when you receive their notice.
If in case you’ll need to extend your deadline, you’ll have to contact your court directly for instructions because The Online Traffic School won’t be able to request it for you.
How can I get my Certificate of Completion?
Most online traffic schools will send your certificate of completion directly to your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Online Traffic School does this within 72 hours (Mondays through Fridays) after you complete their course, free of charge.
The DMV will be the one to notify your court and your court will send you a notification via email when your ticket dismissal has been processed.
Meanwhile, if you want your own copy, you may download a certified version of your certificate for a small fee.
