ANSWERS:

1. Why do you call yourself RUSH TRAFFIC SCHOOL?
RUSH TRAFFIC SCHOOL is, without a doubt, the best place for students with last-minute due dates. We identified a real need in the industry for a traffic school that was responsive to the needs of individuals who, for reasons ranging from busy schedules… to the demands of work and family… to plain old procrastination… individuals who need a way to complete their traffic school requirement quickly, with no complications, and to get their completion certificates submitted to their Courts… fast! RUSH TRAFFIC SCHOOL is dedicated to one simple idea: allow each student to register fast, complete the course efficiently, effectively with full and complete comprehension and finally, to provide them with a full range of certificate delivery options that will allow them to beat their deadlines and avoid possible license suspensions and insurance premium increases.

2. Why go to traffic school?
There are a few different reasons to do traffic school. The first reason is to stop a point from going onto your driving record due to a moving violation such as speeding or running a red light. Too many points can result in a license suspension, while even one point can result in an insurance rate increase. Another reason to do traffic school is to become a more responsible driver, lower your chances of being involved in an accident, and lower your chances of getting a ticket.

3. How quickly can I finish this course?
The great thing about this course is that you work at your own pace. No one is sitting over your shoulder making you slow down or speed up and there is no timer on the site. Everyone reads at different speeds and this program will allow you to proceed at your own pace. The average completion time varies but is far less than an eight-hour traffic school class.

4. How long does it take to get the certificate?
Courts throughout the State allow different ways of receiving the completion certificate. Because of security reasons, it is impossible for you to print your own certificate, so the original certificate must be sent directly from our office to either you or to the court. Some courts allow the original certificate to be sent directly to them from our office, while others request that you (the student) send it in. We comply with each of those requirements, accordingly. When you choose your court on the registration form, you will see which method your court requires.

5. I thought I paid for traffic school at the court?
Unfortunately, the typical $24, $29 or $30 fee that you paid to the court did not pay for any specific traffic school course. What the court calls a "traffic school" fee is simply a court administration fee, which gives you the privilege to take a traffic school program like ours. Traffic schools are a private industry and whether you sit in an eight-hour class or choose a home study program, you will need to pay for it separately.

6. How much is the course?
The course fee is $16.95 which includes everything - the program, the original certificate, regular processing and delivery to the court or to you, respectively.

If you received your citation in any of the following counties: Glenn, Napa, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, and Toulumne Superior Courts your court requires third party testing and identity verification. There may be an additional fee involved with this process depending on your choice of verification. When you go to the final examination you will be apprised of this process.

7. How can I pay?
You can pay for the course two different ways, either by credit card or by check/ money order. After you fill out the registration form, you can be linked to a completely secure credit card page where you pay quickly and effortlessly. The site is encrypted to make your on line purchase safe. The other way to pay for the course is to mail a check or money order to the address listed below. Make sure to send the check before you complete the course and at least a week before your completion date. We will not send a certificate without receiving payment.

8. Am I eligible for internet traffic school?
When you click on the registration link you will see a list of approved courts. If your court is not listed, you may still be eligible to take traffic school on the Internet. Simply call the court that issued the citation or go there in person and request permission to take our course. If given permission, whether it is verbal or written, get the person's name that gave you the permission and the court address where we should forward your completion certificate. On the registration form under the court listing, choose "other" and enter the name and address of your court in the appropriate box. .

9. What if my deadline or due date has passed?
All of the courts throughout the State are run a little differently. Some require that you pay for your ticket prior to granting permission to do traffic school. Other courts have you attend traffic school first and then turn in your certificate with your bail amount. Either way your court handles it, you are given completion/due dates and these dates are to be taken seriously. If you're due date is within a few days or is past due, you may wish to contact the court and request an extension. Many courts grant extensions and will work with you to allow extra time to complete your traffic school obligations. *For regular processing, please complete our program at least five day prior to your due date.

10. How do I register for this course?
Registration for this course is quite simple. You can return to our home page and click on the button that says, "register here". Just fill out the form completing all appropriate boxes and then get started right away. You may also call us at 866-774-7874 during normal business hours to register on the phone. Either way, it just takes minutes and you are able to start right away.

11. Can I use someone else's computer or internet service?
That is what makes this course so easy and great! You can take this from home, work, a friend or family's house, your local library, or you can even rent time on the internet at a copy/computer center. Whatever computer you use, you simply need Internet access. You can also start on your own computer and then finish on another. *This program also works with WEBTV.

12. Must I complete this course in one sitting?
Rush Traffic School is designed for the person who does not have a lot of time. You can sit for 20-30 minutes and read a little, stop, and go back at another time. You can log on and off as many times as you wish until you complete the program. Or if you wish, you can do the whole thing in one sitting. On average, the course takes much less than eight hours to complete.

13. What if I have no e-mail address?
Do not worry if you do not have an e-mail address, as one is not needed to take this course. Any correspondence can be directly printed off the program or be done via mail or telephone. On the registration form under e-mail address, simply click on the no e-mail button, if you do not have one (you may also use a friend's e-mail address if you wish).

14. I have already enrolled. How do I get back into the program?
If you have already enrolled, you have a user identification name and password. You may enter and re-enter that information on our home page where instructed as many times as necessary to access and complete the program. If you have forgotten or lost your user identification or password, give us a call at 866-774-7874.

16. What about my Due Date?
Only your court can extend due dates. If your completion date is fast appoaching, you can either call the court for more time or choose one of our numerous "RUSH" processing options when you enroll. Courts normally will not give grace periods.



17. Do I need to attend a test site to complete the final exam?
Courts in some counties require that your identity be verified by a third party. In the following counties, you may either attend a test site or have your identity verified online: Alameda, Kern, Kings, Madera, San Bernardino, and San Diego for a small fee of $10. If you choose to use the online verification method, some of the data that you submitted will be verified, and you will be asked random questions about your credit history. You may then proceed with the final exam if you answer correctly, and your completion certificate will be mailed to you. If you do not, you will have to attend a test site. Note that this check will not appear on your credit nor reflect on you negatively, and at no time will we have access to or keep your confidential information.

If you received your citation in any of the following counties: Glenn, Napa, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, and Toulumne Superior Courts your court requires third party testing and identity verification. There may be an additional fee involved with this process depending on your choice of verification. When you go to the final examination you will be apprised of this process.
