Determine Your “Course” of Action

Some judges allow drivers to complete approved traffic schools in order to satisfy, or dismiss, traffic tickets.

The driver must still pay the ticket fine and possibly other related costs (including the cost of traffic school), but the violation won’t show up on the driving record.

Generally, you don’t have to make a court appearance to find out more. Just contact your court using the number on your citation and ask if you’re eligible to attend traffic school for ticket dismissal.

Complete a KS Traffic School

If you’re eligible for traffic school, your court will send you a list of approved courses. Typically, online courses aren’t options. Still, you can choose the course that offers the most convenience per your schedule.

Each traffic school teaches its own curriculum, but expect to learn basic defensive driving techniques.

Just be sure to decide soon, because your court likely will give you a deadline by which you must complete the course.

Submit Requirements to the Court

Once you complete the course, the provider will either give you a completion certificate to present your court or forward the certificate on to your court for you.

Check Your Kansas Driving Record

After you complete your court-approved course, order your driving record to make sure the court didn’t forward it on to the DMV.

If you find any problems, contact your court.

Get an Auto Insurance Discount

Some auto insurance providers offer discounts when their policyholders complete approved traffic schools.

Once the court gives you the option to attend traffic school for ticket dismissal, contact your insurance agent and find out if the course will be good for a discount, too.
