Traffic Schools in Virginia
If you have received a traffic ticket in Virginia, then a Virginia State Approved Traffic School is a great way to dismiss your traffic ticket and lose the points from your driving records. I Drive Safely is a good choice for Virginia traffic school online.
The successful completion of a course from one of the approved traffic schools may prevent violations from damaging your driving record. While in many cases a course just might get a traffic ticket dismissed, attending traffic school can also enhance your driving knowledge and skill level, and it may increase your overall safety awareness so that you, your family, and other drivers can be safer on the roads.

Page OverviewVirginia's Department of Motor Vehicle's (DMV) offers a defensive driving course called Driver Improvement Clinics.
Benefits
Successful completion of this course will earn you five safety points. These points can be used to trim demerit points on your driving record. Or, if your record is currently clean, you can hold on to these points and apply them, if needed, towards any future traffic violations.
The class does not dismiss tickets. The power to dismiss tickets resides with your court.
The class can help reduce insurance premiums. This is an either or situation, however. You either enroll in this course to curb insurance costs or to receive five safety points. You cannot earn both benefits. If you do opt for the insurance benefit be sure to contact your insurance carrier before enrolling to confirm recognition of this class.
Clinic Specifics
The course duration is eight hours, and classes are held at various locations throughout the state. Costs vary with each location, but expect to pay around $75.
If you are older than 20 you can "attend" a clinic online. If you are court-ordered to enroll in a clinic you must check with the court first to see if it will allow you to complete the class online. Learn more about computer-based classes.

Court-Ordered Enrollment
If yours is a mandatory enrollment, you must successfully complete the clinic within 90 days. Failure to do so will result in your license being suspended until course completion. Out-of-state students and military personnel are eligible for extensions on the 90-day limit.
