Traffic School
Have you ever driven through a red traffic light? Have you ever parked in the wrong place or driven (fast) than the speed limit (限制)? The answers are probably "yes". Every year (thousand) of drivers become "offenders"-they break the rules of the road. But are the punishments for this offence?
In most countries drivers have to pay a fine (罚款), (usual) $100-$300. But in the USA, Australia and some (Europe) countries offenders also get points on their driving license. After they get certain number of points, they can't drive.
Life is difficult when you can't drive. So far some states in the USA (introduce) a new way to avoid this-Traffic School. Offenders have a choice: They can get points on their license they can do a course at Traffic School.
Traffic Schools run "driver improvement courses". They cost about $100 and take from four twelve hours. Most people do the course in a classroom, but in some states drivers can do the course online. Drivers learn the rules of the road and they learn how (be) better drivers. They don't have to take a driving test, but at the end of the course they have to pass a written examination.
