How do I know if I am eligible to take a defensive driving class for ticket dismissal?

• You have not attended a defensive driving class for an eligible traffic citation issued within the past 12 months.
• Your eligibility to attend a defensive driving class is based on the date of your current violation not on the date you last attended a defensive driving class.
• If eligible, you can attend to have only one violation dismissed.
• You were cited for a civil traffic moving violation that did not involve a serious injury or fatality.
• You must complete this class at least 7 days before your court date.
• Your violation must be on the list of eligible violations.
• You may take the class in person or online. If you were specifically ordered by a judge to attend the class in person, you must register for a classroom course.

Class Information/Refund Policy

This course will take a minimum of 4 hours to complete and must be completed in a maximum of 4.5 hours. You must check and meet the eligibility requirements. If court records reveal that you are not eligible or do not comply with requirements, you will forfeit your class fees and the matter of your ticket will be set for a hearing. Once you have started the GoToTrafficSchool.com course, the Arizona Supreme Court requires that there be no refunds for any court or state fees unless: a) an officer fails to file a citation with a court and the cited person attends a diversion course for that citation; b) when a citation is dismissed by a jurisdictional court on its own motion, for technical problems that are not correctable under civil traffic rules (rules of the court); c) the court requests the refund to be granted. Refund of the court diversion fee, state fee and the state surcharge shall result in restoration of the student’s eligibility for a defensive driving class.
