Which states is GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving course accepted for ticket dismissal?
GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/ticket dismissal course is accepted in numerous jurisdictions across the U.S.. When you register on GoToTrafficSchool.com's website, you will immediately be asked in which state & county you received your traffic ticket.

Can GoToTrafficSchool.com tell me if my ticket is eligible for dismissal where I live if I take your defensive driving/driver improvement online course?
GoToTrafficSchool.com will provide you with approval/eligibility information on the particular online defensive driving/driver improvement course you wish to take if you click on "Register Now" and then choose the state where you received your ticket. However, if you are still unsure, please contact the local traffic court which is handling your case and ask if your ticket can be dismissed by taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's defensive driving/driver improvement online course.
You should know that many states/jurisdictions limit the number of ticket dismissals a person may be granted to one (1) per every 12-18 months (or longer, depending on the state).
Also, some traffic violations are so severe that the local court may decide that it should stay on your driving record permanently (examples may include leaving the scene of a fatal accident or speed racing on a public highway).
Would I receive the same credit if I take defensive driving over the internet as I would if I took it in a six-hour weekend seminar?
The defensive driving/ticket dismissal/insurance reduction course that GoToTrafficSchool.com offers over the internet can be taken in place of a defensive driving course given in a traditional classroom setting. However, you will need to check with your local court to see if GoToTrafficSchool.com's online course is approved in your state or jurisdiction for ticket dismissal. Or, if you want to take defensive driving to save money on auto insurance, please ask your local insurance agent if GoToTrafficSchool.com's online course will suffice.
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?

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.
Since I'll be taking GoToTrafficSchool.com's online defensive driving/driver improvement/ticket dismissal course on the internet instead of in a classroom, do I need to verify my identity to GoToTrafficSchool.com ?
