Reader’s Question:
I was required to go to a DUI school. After I completed this do I need to give the certificate of completion to my car insurance provider? Will this lower my car insurance premium?

If you are required to go to DUI school or was required to take driving course due to your driving under the influence DUI conviction, then I do not think this will help to lower your car insurance premium. Typically, going to DUI school after conviction is part of the penalties that is ordered by the court. This depends on which state are you in.
States differ on their laws with regards to DUI school. Most states would require someone to take or attend DUI class as part of their reinstatement process of their drivers license. Some states would require anyone with DUI conviction to attend DUI class.
I suggest that you speak with your current car insurance agent if they will need you to provide them the certificate of completion once you finished the DUI class. I do not think that attending DUI class would lower your car insurance rate since it was required by the state as part of the penalty for your DUI conviction. If you want to lower your car insurance premium, you may contact your car insurance company and what discounts may be available to you.
