e State Traffic School Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why go to a traffic school at all?
When you receive a ticket, points are assessed on your driving record as a result. Sometimes, you are ordered to attend traffic school by a court of law. Often, this attendance will prevent the ticket from appearing on your official driving record as points. Some insurance companies even give discounts after you successfully complete a traffic school course. Another reason to attend a traffic school is to become a more responsible driver, lower your chances of being involved in a collision (traffic school is sometimes assigned as part of the penalty associated with drinking and driving), and lower your chances of getting a ticket.
How quickly can I finish this course?
The course is designed to take the equivalent amount of time as a traditional in-class traffic school. The great thing about this course, however, is that you work at your own pace. No one is sitting over your shoulder making you slow down or speed up. Everyone reads at different speeds and this program will allow you to proceed at your own pace and there is no time maximum for the program. The average completion time varies.
How long does it take to get the certificate?
Because of security reasons, it is impossible for you to print your own certificate, so the original certificate must be sent directly from our office to you. You can also order a certificate copy to be mailed to you. When you enroll, you may choose for regular mail or expedited service.
Does the course cost anything?
Unfortunately, there is a cost to attend traffic school. $34.95 will cover all elements of the 4-hour course including immediate access to the site and the completion certificate. Regular in-class traffic schools charge similar fees. Traffic schools are privately operated businesses and whether you sit in a class or choose this online program, you will need to pay for it.

I just got knocked off line in the middle of a section. What do I do now?
Many Internet users are knocked off line frequently. This may result from a lost Internet connection, another call interrupting your connection if you are on a single line with call waiting, or simply because your own computer crashes. Remember, as you complete each section of the course, your progress is logged. Completion of chapter one, for example, cannot be lost if your answers are submitted to the system and graded on screen. Being knocked off line at that point, will only bring you back to the start of the next chapter, it will not delete chapter one.

Any activity requirements will be on the part of your Internet service provider.
I use AOL and I keep getting knocked off line. What should I do?

During some of the longer sections requiring more reading, there is a chance AOL will knock you off-line unless you remain interactive with AOL. Do not leave the screen alone for any great length of time.....remain interactive with the screen.
