Traffic school for commercial drivers

Commercially licensed drivers are eligible to attend traffic school provided they  were not cited while driving a commercial vehicle.

Benefits of attending traffic school

The benefit of attending traffic school as an eligible commercial driver is that the negligent operator point is shown on driving record as zero count.

Furthermore.  Federal regulations prevent the masking of violations for commercially licensed drivers.   This means that, even by attending traffic school, the violation will remain on the driving record as with all class license drivers.  Your insurance company and employers may be able to act on the information viewed on your record.
