The course is delivered in 4 modules online and covers topics such as:
Upon completion of the traffic school course, you will receive an official Florida traffic school certificate of completion. At the same time, the completion is filed with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
If your citation was the result of a moving violation, this completion will remove any points associated with the ticket, prevent insurance premium increases and possibly reduce the fine of the ticket."

Have a similar system here in UK for speeding tickets.
You attend an all day "Speed Awareness" course, or do it online for just under three hours.
You still pay the fine, but get no penalty points on license, therefore avoiding the inevitable Car Insurance increase.
We do not have to inform insurance company of the ticket either.
