Hi Franklin,

Yes, Texas traffic ticket dismissal course offers auto insurance discount, but it depends upon the insurer whom you would be dealing with. Once you clear the traffic ticket dismissal course, you might get a min. of 10% auto insurance discount which varies with different insurers.

Answer by WooleyBooley again
Didn’t know there was such a thing. No I haven’t, I figured next spring when my auto insurance comes up for renewal I would attend a local AARP class that they have during the year.

Answer by NanaT
No, I have never heard of it. Thanks for the heads up!

Answer by NickN
No I had not heard of that and thank you i will check it out.
A friend just completed a two day course at the community college to reduce his.
I think it is a good idea and shouldn’t be just for seniors in my opinion.
The only education wasted is that that is not taken advantage of.
Thanks again for the info.

Answer by Sameer T
Ahmedabad Management Association is taking this kind of courses.

Answer by John G
Generally, there are two licenses required to sell insurance.

First of all, the state certfies, by a written test, that you can be an agent. The insurance department also certifies the educational offerings, either approving them -or not. Accordingly, they will have a list of available courses which are frequently taught in the evening at a community college. Once you complete the course, you report to a place to take the state test. In general, there are 4 types of licenses: Property, Casualty, Life and Health. If you want to sell personal auto insurance, you would take the property and casualty test.

That’s level one – YOU.

Your license, however, doesn’t necessarily mean you can actually sell insurance. The insurance company or bureau for whom you wish to sell must, itself, also be licensed. It is safe to state that if they have an office and are doing business, they are licensed.

From time-to-time, all the companies that write insurance directly (through their own agents, not through independent agencies. Examples: Say Farm, Allstate) look for new agents. If they like you at interveiew, they will either send you to a local licensing course, or to their own insurance schools. There are, however, some insurance jobs that do not require a special license, such as paying claims. Often, working in the claims department is a way to get your foot in the door. Once you are in, then you can sign up for courses and get your certification.

Few, if any agents, sell auto insurance alone. Usually, they sell both auto and homeowners coverage, known as “personal lines” of insurance. This includes some specialty lines sucbh as RV coverage and boats. And often, there is a requirment to offer life insurance, because that is where the “big” money is.

You might find a good opportunity working for an “independent” agent, a shop that sells the products for a few or very many insurance companies. MetLife, the Hartford and Fireman’s Fund are examples -but there are hundreds of others.

Here are the three things that will make you an attractive job candidate:

1. You dress well and are well groomed. Lose the pierced tongue.

2. You talk and write well, and in complete sentences. Forget “RU,” and such short-cuts. The word “I,” referring to yourself, is always capitalized. Your spelling is good.

3. You are good with math, some formulas and figuring percentages. You know how to compute the area of a room or a building, for example. We are speaking about the 4 functions here (add, subtract, multiply, divide). Algebra is not necessary.

In general, you have a professional manner about you. The business is very competitive, so appearance really does count.

I hope this helps.

Answer by sensible_man
If you want a discount, you need to pay for the course. If you find a free one, it probably will not be accepted by your insurance company.

Answer by Thomas R
There is no such thing as free in this world. I know for a fact that all the courses that are accepted by your local DMV/insurance company cost money. The reason being that to become accredited with a say costs large money. So companies have to charge a fee in order to stay in business.
And for says like Texas there is a sate mandated minium fee of $ 25. You will not find a course cheaper than that in Texas. In other says like Arizona prices vary. But its work you $ 25 because the insurance discounts are huge. I took this Defensive Driving course on the web http://www.getdefensive.com here is a link to a blog about this also http://insurancediscounts.blogspot.com/ or

For the most part the traffic ticket dismissal course is not the same one to get an insurance Discount. The dismissal course is longer and more thorough regarding laws, and signs, and DUI and all that Jazz. The course for getting a discount is usually called a Defensive Driving course where they go above and beyond the basics of traffic school and tech you the skills necessary to avoid accidents and stay safe.

Answer by Meghan
You can’t use it to get a discount if you used it to dismiss a ticket. And maybe your company just doesn’t offer that discount. Not all companies do, so shop around. Texans only need to take the class if they are ordered by a judge to not have a ticket go on their record.

I also find it strange that you are able to shop for rates online. Typically you can put in your information, but they can’t quote rates on the web for the say of Texas yet. It has to come from a representative of the company who is licensed.

Answer by cslashtee
depends on where u live-but most says offer class if u have not taken def. driving in past three years.
the fee for class varies by which city u got ticket in(usually costs about same as fine u would pay anyway, but taking class means no points on license) …makes it worth it . u can usually get info
online at your state’s dept of transportation or DMV. as far as a discount on your insurance, probably not but it will not go up either…
