How can I find out if GoToTrafficSchool.com is accepted where I live for ticket dismissal?
On GoToTrafficSchool.com's website, click "register". You will be asked to select the state where you received your traffic citation. GoToTrafficSchool.com will then provide you with approval details and other relevant information about the specific online defensive driving/driver improvement/ticket dismissal course you are looking to take. If you're still not certain, you may want to contact the local traffic court which is overseeing your case to see if GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving course is sufficient for dismissing a ticket in your particular jurisdiction.
How can I find out if I am eligible to get a ticket dismissed by taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving course?
In most states, you are only allowed 1 ticket dismissal every 12-24 months (sometimes even longer periods) by taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/ticket dismissal course. Also, some traffic citations cannot be erased from your record (like street racing or reckless driving which results in you killing somebody). GoToTrafficSchool.com explains eligibility requirements during the registration process, however to be safe you may want to check with your local court to make sure that taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's online course will get your ticket dismissed.
Would taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving course online get my ticket dismissed the same as if I took defensive driving in a classroom?
Yes, GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving course may be taken in place of a traditional classroom course, so long as your state or jurisdiction has approved GoToTrafficSchool.com's course to ticket dismissal purposes. Please contact the local traffic court which is handling your case to find out.
Would taking the GoToTrafficSchool.com defensive driving internet class get more than (1) ticket dismissed?
No. In almost every case, a court will only allow you to take GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/driver improvement course to have a single ticket dismissed.
Also, it's very likely that your court will only allow you to have one (1) ticket dismissed over a 12-24 month period (and in some states, it could be 1 dismissal every 5 years). So if you've recently had a prior ticket dismissed, you may not be able to get a more recent citation removed from your driving record.
To find out if your current ticket qualifies for dismissal, please go to GoToTrafficSchool.com's website, click on the state and jurisdiction where you received your ticket, and review the eligibility information. If none is available, please contact the traffic court which is handling your case to see which, if any, of our current traffic tickets can be erased from your record by taking a defensive driving course.
Since this defensive driving course is online, how will GoToTrafficSchool.com verify my identity?
It all depends on what your local court's rules are. Many traffic courts don't even require you to verify your identity, but if your court does, GoToTrafficSchool.com will let you know at the time your register to take our online defensive driving/ticket dismissal course. If your identity does need to be verified, your court may order that a limited credit check be run on you, that your final exam answer sheet is notarized, or that your taking of the final exam is proctored.
If I don't have internet access, does that mean I can't take defensive driving through GoToTrafficSchool.com ?
