How it works
Our Carrollton defensive driving course gives drivers in Carrollton and the DFW metroplex a simple, TDLR-approved way to dismiss tickets and qualify for insurance discounts. Comedy Safe Driver’s online course is accepted by many Carrollton-area courts and can be completed anytime, from any device.
Why Carrollton Drivers Take Defensive Driving
Carrollton drivers regularly deal with traffic on major roads like I-35E, George Bush Turnpike (PGBT), Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH-121), Belt Line Road, Josey Lane, and Old Denton Road. With busy highways, business districts, and neighborhood zones, even careful drivers may receive a minor traffic citation. Taking a Texas defensive driving course can help you:
- ✔ Dismiss an eligible Texas traffic ticket (with court approval)
- ✔ Prevent a conviction from appearing on your driving record
- ✔ Qualify for an auto insurance discount
- ✔ Refresh your knowledge of safe, defensive driving techniques
Because the course is 100% online, you can complete it from home, work, or anywhere you have internet access.
How Ticket Dismissal Works in Carrollton
Most Carrollton traffic tickets are handled by Carrollton Municipal Court or nearby Dallas, Denton, or Collin County Justice of the Peace courts. Before you take a defensive driving course for ticket dismissal, you must request permission from the court listed on your citation.
Once the court grants approval, your steps are straightforward:
- Enroll in our Texas Defensive Driving course.
- Complete the six-hour online course at your own pace.
- Obtain your course completion certificate (and driving record if required).
- Submit your documents to the court by your deadline.
