Our course has been reviewed and approved by the Arizona Supreme Court.

See our defensive driving certification.

We are also listed on the Arizona Supreme Court's website of approved school providers for Arizona.

Most courts will grant an extension to complete Arizona traffic school if the request is made before the court/due date. You will need to write, call, or go to the Clerk of the Court to request an extension. If your court date has passed, you will need to make an appearance and speak with a judge to request your extension.

Remember, the Arizona Supreme Court requires that you complete the Arizona Defensive Driving course at least seven days before your court date.

You can check your eligibility before registering for traffic school by using our eligibility checking tool.

If you have a commercial license, we will double check your eligibility once we have received your documents for approval. The eligibility checking tool will only check if you have attended traffic school in the past and if your violation code is an approved violation code allowed for traffic school.

If you have additional questions, please give us a call at 1-888-406-1726.

As of September 1st, 2019, Commercial License holders may be eligible to attend traffic school if the CDL driver was driving for non-commercial purposes. For example, if the CDL holder was driving a personal vehicle during off business hours.

The State of Arizona has two different traffic school courses available for drivers. When enrolling in traffic school, it's essential to know which course you are required to take.

You can attend an Arizona Defensive Driving School (also known as traffic school) once every 12 months.

We will need a copy of your driver's license and a copy of your citation before granting you access to your Arizona traffic school course. Once we receive your documents, we typically approve accounts in minutes, but please allow up to 2 hours for approval.

For faster approval, please provide clear, legible copies of your documents.

You can use any method below to submit your documents:

1. Upload to your account by logging into your account
2. Email to docs@highwaytrafficschool.com
3. Fax to 1-760-836-0106
4. Mail to Highway Traffic School, 2173 Salk Ave, Suite 250, Carlsbad, CA 92008

The state mandates the Arizona Defensive Driving Course to be 4 hours long to be certified and approved.

The benefit of taking an online course is the ability to stop and start whenever you like - our system will save your work and remember where you left off. There's no need to do the entire course all at once (unless you want to). Having the ability to pause the course and continue where you left off makes it convenient to work at your own pace.

Highway Traffic School online course has five units: Highway Safety, The Driver, The Vehicle, The Roadway, and Impaired Driving.

Yes. Arizona law requires that you must complete your course at least seven days before your court/due date. If you need more time, you may contact the court listed on your ticket to request an extension. Once you have an approved extension from the court, you will need to let us know the new court/due date so we can update your account.

When you log into your account, click on "Already have an Extension? Click Here." Enter your court-approved extension date. Once updated, your account will be reactivated.

You can also send us an email with your new extension date to support@highwaytrafficschool.com, and we can update and reactivate your course for you.

If you are within seven days of your court date, you will need to contact the court and request an extension. Arizona requires you to finish your course seven days before the court date. If this is the first extension you have asked for, most courts will allow an additional 30 to 45 day extension. Once you have obtained your approved extension, you can register to take the course with that new court/due date or update your account with the new court date.

If you have already obtained an extension in the past and require more time, you will need to contact the court. Keep in mind that additional extensions may be possible after the first extension has been granted, but most courts require extraordinary circumstances. An example of an extraordinary or emergency circumstance may be illness or financial hardship. Ultimately, it will be the court's discretion whether to give you more time.

The State of Arizona requires that all defensive driving schools collect specific fees on behalf of the state and the courts.

The fees are as follows:

• Course Fee: $19.99
• State Fee: $24 - Mandatory to dismiss a ticket
• State Surcharge: $45 - Mandatory to dismiss a ticket
• Court Diversion Fee: (varies by court) - Mandatory to dismiss a ticket
• Processing fee: $9.99

There are no hidden fees with Highway Traffic School. We disclose all fees without the need to start the registration process. Use our Arizona price tool to get your full price before registering and paying.

If you decide to take an Arizona Defensive Driving course, you DO NOT need to pay any fines to the court. The state and court fees we collect during registration are the only fines/fees you need to pay to dismiss your ticket.

From time to time, we see students accidentally pay both the fine directly with the court and enroll in an Arizona Defensive Driving course. This can cause your traffic school completion to be rejected. By paying the court directly, you indicate that you are pleading guilty to the violation on your ticket and do not plan to attend traffic school. This will result in points being added to your driving record. If you decide to attend traffic school, the school will collect the state and court fees required to dismiss your ticket. Keep in mind that these fees may be very close to the amount of the fine of the ticket if you would have paid it directly to the court. But, because defensive driving keeps points from being added to your driving record, you will save money in the long run from car insurance premium increases.

If you have paid both the fine with the court and also paid to attend a traffic school, you will need to contact the court as soon as possible to have them refund the payment and guilty plea. Failure to do so will result in your traffic school completion being rejected by the court. You will need to file a "motion" with the court requesting the refund in most cases. A motion is a formal request made to a judge in writing. Please do not continue to take the course until you have approval from the court to refund their payment. Once your motion has been approved, you may continue with your class.

If you have any additional questions on double payment by mistake, you may contact the court printed on your ticket for more information and instructions.

Our course does not have a final exam as a requirement to pass. Instead, you will be presented with participation questions throughout the course. You must answer each question correctly before you can proceed with the class. If you answer the multiple-choice question incorrectly, you will have more opportunities to answer it correctly until you do. You are guaranteed to pass!!!

Yes. We will notify your court electronically of your completion of the AZ Defensive Driving course. You will not need to appear in court or provide your certificate of completion to the court for the violation you indicated. If you have multiple violations on your ticket, you will need to contact the court and take care of those separately.

Once you finish the course, we ask that you wait 2 to 3 weeks before calling the court to check your ticket status. Even though we transmit your information electronically within 24 hours, the courts cannot see your completion until the court fees have been received and processed in their system. Your obligation is to complete traffic school seven days before your court/due date. The court does not penalize you for processing time, and they will accept the completion date we report to them once they receive the court fees.

If there are ever any problems with your case, please feel free to contact us. We will always work with the court to resolve any issues with your on-time completion.

You can always download, print, or save a copy of your certificate of completion directly from our website, for no additional charge, and it is available immediately once you complete the course.

Highway Traffic School saves a copy of your completion for three years. You may log in at any time or request a copy if needed during that time frame.

Once you complete your course in Arizona, we recommend allowing 2 to 3 weeks for the court to process your completion before calling the court to double-check if your ticket has been entirely dismissed.

Unfortunately, the Arizona courts currently do not communicate back to us or you once the ticket has been entirely dismissed. Please note, the court will not penalize you for processing time. They will always follow the date stamp we reported to them when you completed the course.
