Massachusetts Auto Traffic School

Driver Retraining Course (Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course)

There are several reasons why you may take an approved defensive driving course.

  • You have accumulated too many Surchargeable Events in too short a time. This is required to avoid a suspension.
  • You have been ordered by a court.
  • You may be able to get an auto insurance discount.
  • Become a safer driver.

If you are required to attend a course to avoid a suspension you should receive a notification in the mail.

Here is a list of Certified Driving Retraining Schools for Massachusetts.

It may be used to avoid a suspension, get your license reinstated, or reduce your insurance rates.  It may also have been ordered by the court in response to a traffic violation.
