Traffic/Driving Schools in West Virginia

Updated on Thu, 4/28/2011

TRAFFIC SCHOOLS

In the state of West Virginia, traffic schools are often referred to as ‘Defensive Driving Courses' (DDC). There are three reasons why people enroll in the DDC:

  • After a traffic violation where demerit points were awarded, the court will orders the driver to take a course at a traffic/driving school to improve their safe-driving skills.
  • To receive insurance discounts.
  • To reduce demerit points from your driving record.
This program is designed to help you to learn defensive driving techniques that will make you a safer driver. The DDC is an eight hour course and there are various locations and online clinics offered in West Virginia. If the clinic has been court-ordered, please ensure that the court will accept a certificate of completion from an online course, before enrolling in a computer based DDC.

BENEFITS

Any driver can enroll in a Defensive Driving Course at any time to receive the following benefits:
  • Insurance Benefits - some insurance companies may offer premium discounts. Please check with your insurance representative to see if you qualify for this discount.
  • Point Reduction - you may be able to deduct up to three demerit points for 48 months if you complete a course.

WHEN IS IT MANDATORY?

Either the court or the DMV (when notified by the courts) may order you to successfully complete a defensive driving course when you have been convicted of a moving or traffic violation. It is under the court's discretion as to whether or not you will be mandated to take one of these courses.

FEES

Please contact the locations for more details on individual pricing, as fees vary between locations.
