Course Information
Yes! Our Louisiana online defensive driving course is approved by courts throughout the state for ticket dismissal.
As permission for ticket dismissal is granted on an individual basis by your court, their eligibility requirements will vary. You should contact your court when you receive your citation, ask whether your driving history qualifies you for ticket dismissal, and request permission to dismiss your ticket with a defensive driving course.
Generally, you qualify if you meet the following eligibility requirements:
- You hold a valid non-commercial Louisiana driver’s license
- You have been cited for a minor, non-criminal moving violation
- Your license has not been suspended or revoked
We have all of the eligibility requirements and steps to take for Louisiana defensive driving listed on our How It Works page.

Each of the 8 chapters contains a quiz that reviews important content from that chapter. There are 10 questions per quiz, and you need to obtain an 80% or higher to pass onto the next chapter.

Absolutely not! You have unlimited retakes on your chapter quizzes and final exam, so if you fail to achieve a passing score on your first try, you may simply retake them again until you do.
Deadlines are typically determined by the Louisiana courts. While we allow you 180 days to complete your course before your account is suspended, the court may require you to finish your course much sooner than that. Make sure to determine your court’s deadline before beginning the course.
Regardless of court deadlines, you MUST complete the course within 180 days of registration. Any student who has not successfully completed the course within 180 days will be terminated without notice and will not be eligible for a refund.
