How to Take an Online Defensive Driving Course in Alabama

Alabama traffic tickets can come with some stiff fines and penalties. And while the state of Alabama doesn’t provide point reductions, the state does allow you to potentially dismiss your traffic ticket entirely – meaning neither the violation nor the points will appear on your driving record. However, this isn’t mandatory, and is determined based upon your personal circumstances.

Many insurance providers will also reward their clients for completing an Alabama defensive driving course voluntarily. We’ve outlined the steps for each of these processes below, so that no matter what your goal is, you have a clear path to get there.

How to Dismiss Your Alabama Traffic Ticket

How to Get a Discount on Your Alabama Auto Insurance

How to Dismiss Your Alabama Traffic Ticket

1. Contact your court and request permission to attend a defensive driving course.

You will either need to appear in court on the date listed on your violation, or you will need to contact your court by that date to ask permission for ticket dismissal. Dismissing a ticket can be achieved through completion of a state-approved defensive driving course. The court may still give you a date by which you must appear, depending upon your violation.To be eligible:

    • Your ticket must be for a minor moving violation, and
    • You must possess a valid, non-commercial Alabama drivers license

2. Enroll in and complete your I Drive Safely Alabama defensive driving course.

3. Submit your completion certificate to your court by their given deadline.

The court will have given you a length of time in which you must complete your course. Make sure you finish and receive your certificate of completion within the time allotted.

4. Check your driving record.

Within a couple of weeks, the court will have processed your ticket dismissal, and your violation (and associated points) will not be assessed, nor will they be reported to your insurance company.

How to Get a Discount on Your Alabama Auto Insurance

1. Contact your insurance provider and inquire as to whether they approve defensive driving courses for a premium reduction.

Each company is different, but generally you will be eligible as long as you have a good driving history and you haven’t taken a defensive driving course within the past year.Be sure to ask how much of a discount you will receive, and how long that reduction will remain in effect. Also ask whether they allow renewals when the discount has expired – if so, you can take our course again to renew your insurance reduction!

2. Enroll in and complete your I Drive Safely Alabama defensive driving course.

3. Submit your completion certificate to your insurance agency.

Give them a couple weeks to process your defensive driving course, and make sure to remain in contact with your agent to find out when your reduction will go into effect.

4. Enjoy your reduced insurance rate!
