Is this my first time eligible in Connecticut?
I have never taken any kind of traffic school before. I got my first speeding ticket ever in Hartford last month. Am I eligible to take the course?
Hello Steven, Welcome — yes, first-time drivers in your situation are typically eligible. Connecticut offers driver retraining courses through approved providers, and our course meets that requirement. A couple of points to confirm before enrolling: - Call the Hartford Superior Court that issued the ticket and ask whether they accept a completed defensive driving course as a way to resolve or reduce the citation - Ask the court whether they require the course to be completed before a specific date Once you start, the course can be done in pieces or in one sitting, and the certificate goes out the same business day you pass.
