Points on Your License? Traffic101 Can Help You Tell Them Goodbye

With over 20 years of experience in online driver safety courses, Traffic101 offers top-notch online driving education. Their state-approved course meets all PIRP requirements, so improving your record after a ticket is a breeze.

You’ll also score a sweet 10% discount on car insurance premiums for 3 full years when you complete their program. It’s a great way to offset higher rates.

    I have a long and checkered history with defensive driving. I took my first "court invited" course at age 15 and realized immediately that there had to be a better way. Since that first experience, I have gone on to teach defensive driving classroom courses and to author four internet courses in 2 states. After nearly 25 years in the industry, I can help you find a course that will be the best fit for you.
