California. If you get a one-point traffic violation, the judge may offer traffic violator school. The citation then is not reported to your insurance company but stays on your driving record. You can do this once in any 18-month period1.
New York. The Point and Insurance Reduction Program can reduce up to 4 points in the DMV's record calculation and lowers the base rate of auto and motorcycle insurance premiums by 10% a year for three years. The classroom course is 320 minutes; points can be reduced only once in 18 months, and the course must be retaken every 36 months to keep the insurance reduction2.
Other states run their own programs; check your DMV or the court on your ticket before enrolling anywhere.

It depends on the state and the court. In California it keeps a one-point citation from your insurer, but the citation stays on your driving record1.
States run their own programs. Aceable lists courses for several states, among them Florida and Nevada4; check your DMV first.
We do not earn anything from your quotes or sign-ups today. Every partner link is a plain link to the partner's own site, without a referral code. We may join partners' referral programs in the future, and this notice will say so before that changes.
