Is there such thing as "Traffic School" in Massachusetts or is this just a California thing?

Because if it is, it's unfair that my friend does not have to have a traffic violation if he attends traffic school and I do here in Boston.

Massachusetts Traffic Schools You may be able to complete a traffic school course in order to lower fines, reduce points, and keep your insurance rates from going sky-high. See traffic schools approved by the Registry of Motor Vehicles here. Traffic School can also be taken on line. Although, prior to taking an Online traffic school course, you may need court approval, recommend Driving University as the best driving course to help make you a safer and more confident driver. Whether you decide to take an online course such as Driving University or a normal classroom traffic school, be sure to check with your court to make sure they'll accept it for point reduction or ticket dismissal.

every state is different. they all have seperate governments, so we have different laws from state to state, they dont make laws based on how "fair" it is for people from other states. we do have traffic school here but i'm sure its alot different from california. my friend had 6 tickets and she had to go to traffic school, or else lose her license. if she had got one more ticket within a year she would have lost it. you dont get to go to get out of 1 ticket, its for ppl who have mulitple tickets and fines, so basically its for the ppl who really need some reminding on how to drive lol. massachusetts is pretty strict when it comes to driving and insurance, they dont care if it is unfair. just be careful and follow the rules bc you never know where there is a cop hiding waiting to give you a ticket!
