What's The Difference Between A Defensive Driver Course and a Traffic School?

Defensive Driving Courses (sometimes referred to as Driving Safety Classes) are called Traffic School Courses in California.

The course will generally cover topics such as techniques to drive defensively, alcohol’s effect on driving, state laws, and statistics covering things like crashes, DUIs, etc.

People take a Traffic School Course in California to keep traffic tickets from showing on their public driving records and from their insurance rates from going up.
