General Info

1. Why should I take a Wisconsin online traffic school course?

Taking our course may help you in a couple of ways. First, you may be able to reduce your insurance rates. You’ll want to check with your insurance company to see if they give discounts to customers who enroll in a Wisconsin defensive driving course. Second, you may be able to complete your court-ordered traffic school requirement with our course. You’ll need to contact your court and ask whether they would be willing to approve our course for point reduction.

2. Is your online traffic school licensed by the state of Wisconsin?

We are currently approved for ticket amendment by the City of Brookfield Municipal Court, the Village of Greendale and the Muskego Municipal Court. For all other Wisconsin traffic courts, you’ll need to contact them directly and request permission to fulfill your requirement with our online course before you enroll. If you’ve been convicted of a Failure To Yield violation, our Failure To Yield course is fully approved by the state of Wisconsin. In addition, you still may be able to take one of our courses for an insurance discount. Your insurance provider will be able to tell you whether or not you qualify.

3. I'm not sure if I'm eligible to take Wisconsin traffic school. How do I find out?

The state of Wisconsin does not automatically authorize drivers to take an online traffic school course; permission is granted by judges on a case-by-case basis, so you’ll need to contact your court.

4. Does online traffic school help my insurance rate in Wisconsin?

It can! You’ll need to check with your insurance provider to make sure they offer reduced rates to drivers who complete a Wisconsin defensive driving course.

5. Where do I send my traffic school certificate in Wisconsin?

If your insurance provider authorizes you to take our online Wisconsin defensive driving course for a discount, or if your court allows you to take it to dismiss a ticket, you’ll need to provide them with a copy of your certificate of completion. When you finish the final exam of your Wisconsin traffic school (before 3PM Central time), we will get your certificate of completion in the mail to you that same day. We deliver via U.S. Mail for free, and have your certificate to your door within 5-7 days of shipment. If you need it sooner, you can choose from one of our FedEx options for expedited shipping.

Note: I Drive Safely will report the course completion directly to the City of Brookfield Municipal Court, the Village of Greendale and the Muskego Municipal Court.
