DMVZoneBlogPennsylvania has no pay-to-erase online traffic school. Points come off through clean time, a special point exam, or Driver Improvement School once you reach 6. Drivers 55+ can earn an insurance discount.
Not the way most states do. Pennsylvania has no voluntary course that wipes points after a ticket. Points come off with time, 3 for every clean year, or through the special point exam (2 points) or Driver Improvement School (4 points), which PennDOT offers once you reach 6 points.
If you are searching for an online defensive driving course to fix a Pennsylvania ticket, be careful. Courses sold for other states will not change your PennDOT record. Here is what actually works.
| Path | Points removed | Who can use it |
|---|---|---|
| 12 months with no new points, suspension or revocation | 3 | Everyone |
| Written special point exam | 2 | Drivers at 6 points for the first time |
| Driver Improvement School | 4 | Drivers at 6 points for the first time, or required later |
| Completing hearing sanctions | 2 | Drivers at 6 points again |
If you choose Driver Improvement School the first time, you get 4 points off instead of 2. It takes longer than the exam, but it gives you a bigger buffer before 11.
