In South Carolina, you can take the same type of classes, but all you
get is a points credit on your license. It does not eliminate the
ticket. The result is only worthwhile if you are in danger of losing
your license from too many points. The points credit can keep you under
the limit of 12, but all your tickets still show.

Further, it does nothing for your insurance (even though they claim it
does since you'll have no/lower points) since the insurance companies
only evaluate the existance and timing of listed violations on your
record. They don't actually care what your number of points are.

Further, in SC traffic offenses are prosecuted by the individual
officers. There is no DA to bargain with, so most of the time you are
flat out screwed.

Well here in IN and KY you can enroll in a "driving school class" that
meets two consecutive saturdays for 4 hours each.  I haven't been to one
in a while but I remember the fees are pretty much exactly the same cost
as paying a speeding ticket.  Around $150.  Once you finish the class
there are no test or anything like that - you just can't get another
ticket in the same county/state for 6 months, and if you don't then the
ticket disappears and never goes on your driving record.  It's pretty
neat and I have had as many as 3 deferrals going on in IN at the same
time - all in different counties!  They never check.
