How to Dismiss Your Traffic Ticket

• Contact your court and request permission to attend a defensive driving course.

  Arizona state law gives you three options upon receiving a ticket: pay the fine, take a defensive driving course, or contest the ticket. To be eligible for a defensive driving course, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

  • You must hold a valid non-commercial driver’s license. Commercial Driver’s License holders are not eligible for this course.
  • 12 months must have passed since the violation date on your last traffic citation.
  • You must have committed an eligible minor non-criminal moving violation [tickets that are the result of a collision involving serious injury or death are not eligible for this course]. A list of eligible violation codes may be found here.
  • You must complete your course 7 days prior to your court date.

  You may only attend the course for a single violation, regardless of how many you may have incurred on your citation.
