ETS Forum for Alabama

Hello Caleb, Under federal and Alabama state regulations, CDL holders face strict rules regarding traffic school masking: - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules prohibit courts from masking convictions for commercial driver's license holders, even if the violation occurred in a personal passenger car - Some municipal judges in Tuscaloosa may allow driver safety course completion to reduce monetary fines or resolve local citations, but the conviction may still report to the Alabama ALEA database - We recommend contacting the Tuscaloosa Municipal Court clerk or your traffic attorney to verify if the prosecutor offers an amended non-moving violation before enrolling.

Hello Sarah, Thanks for letting us know. Declines at checkout almost always come from one of three places: - Your bank flagged the charge as out-of-pattern — call the number on the back of the card and approve the merchant 'ETS Traffic School' - The billing address you entered does not match what your bank has on file — re-enter it exactly as it appears on your statement - The card number, CVV, or expiration was mistyped — re-enter all four fields carefully You can also try a different debit or credit card, or pay with PayPal. None of the declined attempts will hold funds. Alabama Defensive Driving Course Please let us know if you have any further questions!
