Defensive Driving Program

The Defensive Driving Program provides individuals who have received a minor traffic ticket an opportunity to attend a six-hour class and have one eligible charge dismissed without appearing in court. Driving skills and knowledge of rules of the road can be improved by attending a DDP class.

Eligibility

• The program can be attended only once within a two-year period.
• The traffic ticket is for a minor moving violation.
• The charge did not result from an accident where a death or life threatening injury was involved.
• The option of attending a DDP class is void after the arraignment date.

It is recommended that you register with the school of your choice, within the first week of receiving your citation. Information on schools is listed below and also provided on the bail envelope that you received with your citation. Individuals who reside out-of-state must also contact the schools listed below.
