Rules for taking California CDL Course.
California Courts may order or permit a driver who has a California Class A, Class B, or Class C license to complete a traffic school course ONLY for a ticket received while operating a non-commercial vehicle (a vehicle that requires only a Class C or Class M license to operate).
As a result of taking our CDL Course:
- The conviction is NOT added to the violation point count used for determining whether the driver is a negligent operator.
- The record of conviction is NON CONFIDENTIAL. As is required by federal law, the California DMV will disclose the conviction:
- To Insurers, for insurance underwriting and rating purposes
- For any other purposes required by the Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations
Drivers are eligible to take traffic school for one California Violation in any 18 month period, counted from violation date to violation date.
You must contact your court to pay your fine and request the option to take traffic school before enrolling in a traffic school course. Not all violations are eligible for traffic school.
Details of our California CDL Course.
Before you take our traffic school, you need to pay your fine and get permission from the court.
Step 1: Register
When you click "Enroll Now," you'll go to a page where you can choose how to receive your proof of completion, create an account, and pay. After that, you'll enter information from your ticket and license so we can send it to the DMV and get your ticket fixed.
Step 2: Take the Course
The course is designed to be a 6-7 hour program. There are 11 units in the course with 11 review quizzes along the way. You can walk away any time you want, and pick it up again where you left off by just logging in.
At the end of the course there's a final exam, which consists of 25 multiple choice questions. It's an open book exam, meaning you may refer back to the course material while you're taking it.
A score of 70% or more will pass the exam. If you don't get 70% the first time, you can take it again (just once, though.)
Step 3: You keep your CDL
We send your certificate of completion to the court and DMV electronically, as soon as you complete the course. The conviction is NOT added to your violation point count. (Don't worry if you're taking the course at the last minute - they just look at when the certificate was submitted.)
You can also download a copy of the certificate for your records, or have a physical copy sent to you via First Class mail. That's it: you're back to having a clean driving record!
