• Point Reduction in Connecticut


    Getting Your Connecticut Traffic Ticket Dismissed

    CT drivers who receive traffic tickets in certain areas of the state are eligible for ticket dismissal via nolle prosequi.

    To find out if this is you:

    • Check your citation for court contact information.
    • Contact the court and ask if your case will be handled by a Regional Motor Vehicle court. (Alternatively, you can contact the CIB and ask.)
    • If the answer is yes, write that court’s prosecutor and request he or she nolle the ticket.

    If the prosecutor agrees, your ticket becomes dismissed.

    NOTE: Because it’s best to make a convincing case as to why the prosecutor should agree to nolle your citation, consider consulting an attorney for help.

    Point Reduction

    The only way to reduce driving record points is to wait 24 months after the violation. Once 24 months is up, the DMV will remove the points associated with that violation.

    Operator Retraining Program

    CT offers only one driving program―the Operator Retraining Program―and it’s a court-ordered course for drivers who are at-risk for license suspension due to accumulating too many violations.

    Refer to CT Traffic Schools for more information.

    Check Your Driving Record

    To avoid license suspension related to point and violation accumulations, check your driving record whenever you:

    • Receive notification of ticket dismissal.
    • Complete the 24-month period after receiving a violation.
    • Complete the Operator Retraining Program.

    If your record doesn’t reflect whichever of the above applies to you, contact the DMV.

    Get Affordable Auto Insurance

    Once it’s time to renew your auto insurance policy, you might discover an increase in rates.

    • Did you fail to get your ticket dismissed?
    • Are you waiting the 24-month period for your points to disappear?
    • Were you court-ordered to complete the Operator Retraining Program?
      • If you can answer “yes” to any of those questions, you could face higher auto insurance rates.

        Talk with your agent first, because such an increase depends on your driving history, your provider, and your policy. Then, if you find out your rates will increase, consider comparing policies online to find more affordable coverage.
