Louisiana traffic school rules
Louisiana has no course program for tickets, so a course dismisses nothing and takes no points off. A voluntary course may lower your insurance premium, and your insurer decides.
Rules checked
Louisiana law sets no statewide traffic school or defensive driving program that dismisses a ticket or removes points. A state approved defensive driving course can qualify the principal driver for an insurer rate reduction of up to 10% where the insurer has filed one, for 36 months after completion. The reduction does not apply when a court ordered the course. Some local courts or prosecutors may run their own programs; check your citation and your court.
