To benefit from the course, you must be able to work independently and be comfortable with using a computer.
If you are required to attend a commercial driver improvement clinic, then this computer-based course will not satisfy a driver improvement clinic requirement. You must satisfactorily complete a clinic that provides CDL classroom instruction.
Your court may or may not accept the certificate of completion for this computer-based course. It is your responsibility to determine whether your court accepts courses taken at online traffic schools. Customers directed by the court must provide documentation from the court before safe driving points can be awarded.
Demerit Points
DMV uses a point system to rate drivers. You receive demerit points for unsafe driving and safe driving points for good driving.
Demerit points are assigned when you are convicted of a traffic violation. The demerit points associated with a conviction remain valid for two years from the date you commit the offense.
Different violations carry different point assignments, depending on the seriousness of the offense. For more information, click the image above to be redirected to the DMV's website.
