Traffic school refers to a course or program designed for drivers who have received traffic citations, such as speeding tickets or other moving violations. The goal of these courses is usually to educate drivers about safe driving practices and defensive techniques in order to prevent future accidents and reduce the number of traffic-related incidents on the roads. In some cases, completing a traffic school course may also result in having the citation dismissed or reduced, which can help keep points off one's driver's license and maintain lower insurance rates.
