Why people take it online
Qualify for an insurance discount
Many states require insurers to offer a discount to drivers who complete an approved course. Terms, amounts, and duration vary by state and by carrier.
Satisfy a court requirement
If a court or DMV ordered traffic school, an approved online course lets you complete it without scheduling around a classroom.
Go at your own pace
Log in and out as often as you like. The course remembers where you stopped, so it fits around work instead of the other way around.

Common questions
Will this actually remove points from my license?
That depends entirely on your state and often on your specific violation and history. Some states reduce points, some only offer an insurance discount, and some require court approval first. Check your state’s course page for what applies.
How long does the course take?
It varies by state, because states set the required hours. Because it is online and self-paced, you can spread it across several sittings.
Is the course approved where I live?
IMPROV lists approval status per state on each state course page. Always confirm there before enrolling.
What does it cost?
Pricing is set by IMPROV and varies by state and course type. We deliberately do not list prices here, because a stale price is worse than no price.
Who handles my enrollment and refunds?
IMPROV does. This site is an independent affiliate — we point you to the right course and earn a commission if you enroll. We do not process payments or issue certificates.
