The successful completion of an approved defensive driving course, also known by many people as traffic school, could be a way to prevent traffic violations from damaging your driving record.
Taking a defensive driving course can teach you driving techniques that may just help you avoid a dangerous driving situation, and it increases your awareness of road safety overall.
Whenever you are enrolling in defensive driving classes in the hopes of getting traffic violation points dismissed, be sure to check with the courts prior to enrolling to verify that the course is California state approved.
