How Traffic School Works in Missouri
In Missouri, there is no statewide traffic school dismissal or point-reduction program. A traffic school course will not automatically remove a citation or reduce points from a driver's record under state law.
However, individual courts in Missouri may have discretion to allow traffic school on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, a separate insurance-discount course may be available that can lower insurance premiums without affecting the citation or points themselves.
The specifics of any traffic school option—including approved course providers, application deadlines, course fees, and eligibility requirements for a particular citation—are determined by the state and the individual court handling the ticket. These policies and procedures can change over time.
Before enrolling in or paying for any traffic school course, drivers should confirm directly with the court that issued the citation or with the Missouri Department of Revenue to verify whether the course is an option for their situation, what the applicable requirements are, and what the associated costs will be. This information varies by jurisdiction and case type and should be verified through official sources rather than assumed based on general guidelines.
Confirm with your court or DMV. Traffic-code rules change and vary by court — verify the current rule on Missouri’s official .gov page or with the court handling your citation before you act.
