How do I sign up for a defensive driving course?
Prior to signing up for a defensive driving course, make sure that you are eligible to attend. A few things to note:
- A defensive driving class can only be completed, at least, 7 days BEFORE your court date
- You CANNOT attend if you have a commercial drivers license (CDL)
- You can attend a class in person or online (unless ordered by the judge)
- You can only attend driving school once a year (from the date of your citation)
- If you were involved in a serious injury accident or fatal accident, you are not eligible
You can check with the defensive driving school that you select to make sure you qualify.
