Drivers can remove speeding ticket points

Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee drivers charged with speeding can register for an approved driver education course while paying fines and costs instead of appearing in court. Completing the course within 90 days after conviction removes up to five points from that speeding conviction. Approved courses must be available online through the department’s website. Providers must submit completion certificates through that website within 30 days after course completion. They must also explain the department’s point-removal process to participants who complete the course.
