No state program: Which States
Fifteen jurisdictions operate without state-mandated dismissal or point-reduction programs, though insurance discounts may be available in some cases. These jurisdictions are Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, and others tracked across a 51-jurisdiction survey.
Comparing states by legal mechanism provides the most accurate framework for analysis, since public records document the actual statutory or regulatory mechanism in place rather than informal course categorizations or pricing structures. Within any given mechanism, eligibility requirements and frequency limits vary significantly by state and often by individual court, making jurisdiction-specific verification essential.
Those seeking current information about a particular state's rules should consult the relevant state court or Department of Motor Vehicles directly. The data presented here is informational only and does not constitute legal advice.

Per-state confirmation still required. Mechanism is the same across these states, but eligibility, frequency and the governing statute are not. Open each state's page and confirm with the court/DMV. Not legal advice.
Check your state's rules →Informational only — not legal advice. Traffic-school eligibility, point-reduction rules, and court procedures vary by state, by court, and by offense, and change over time. Nothing here is a specific statute citation or a determination about your case. Before you act, confirm the current rule with the traffic court handling your citation or your state DMV, and refer to your state’s official statutes for the governing law. For your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.
