FAQ - Defensive Driving School

In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependency and/or severance case.

Did you receive a letter? Visit the DCS letter page for more information.

Do I have to appear on my court date for my civil traffic violation if I am going to go to defensive driving school?

No.  You must contact the court, at least 7 days before your scheduled court date to inform them that you are going to attend defensive driving school.  If you have attended driving school within the last 12 months, you will not be eligible.  Also, if there was an accident it could not have involved a serious injury or death.  It must be a civil violation.
