Traffic Safety - As enacted, allows a person who submits the fine and costs for a speeding ticket in lieu of appearing in court to also register for an approved driver education course online, of which successful completion can cause points for the speeding conviction to be removed from the person's record in accordance with current law. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 10; Title 55, Chapter 8 and Title 55, Chapter 9.
HB 1891 allows Tennessee drivers who pay the fine for a speeding ticket without appearing in court to enroll in an approved online driver education course. If they complete the course within 90 days of their conviction, up to five points will be removed from their driving record. Court clerks must provide online registration for these courses through their websites. This change applies specifically to speeding convictions and takes effect July 1, 2026.
