A traffic ticket can be dismissed and a spotless driving record can be maintained by successfully completing an online defensive driving course. The goal of the course is to improve driving abilities and encourage safer driving habits.
If you want to use a defensive driving school to get the traffic ticket dismissed, you must first obtain permission from your court. They may ask you to get a copy of your Texas driving record, especially the Type 3A Certified Driving Record. This certified record will provide the court with your full driving record.
• Ticket Dismissal: Drivers in many jurisdictions may prevent having points added to their driving records by attending an approved defensive driving course, resulting in a dismissal of tickets for traffic violations.
• Insurance Discounts: Successfully completing a defensive driving course could allow you for discounted vehicle insurance pricing.
In order to dismiss a ticket, courts may need a copy of your driving record along with the certificate of course completion.
