What is the Arizona Defensive Driving Program?

Arizona Defensive Driving is a Supreme Court-approved program that allows offenders to have their traffic ticket dismissed. A Defensive Driving School (DDS) provides a quick and easy way to have your Arizona traffic ticket dismissed and stop points from appearing on your driving record.

Defensive driving programs are aimed at helping drivers dismiss citations and prevent hikes in their auto insurance rates. Good news is that these programs are easy and affordable, and they can be done at your own pace. The offender can also sign up for an Arizona Supreme Court approved online course to save time, money and gas.

Why DDS?

The Arizona Supreme Court approved defensive driving courses can help in the following cases:

  • Have a traffic ticket or minor violation dismissed
  • Avoid accumulation of driving record points
  • Earn an auto insurance discount

These courses are available to both Arizona drivers as well as out-of-state drivers who have committed a traffic violation in Arizona.

Who Is Eligible?

According to Arizona statutes, a person is allowed to remove one DDS-eligible traffic violation from their driving record every two years by completing Defensive Driving School. For eligible candidates, the DDS Program is available for one DDS-eligible violation on their citation. However, all additional violations on their citation (complaint), must be processed through court.

The offender will have to meet all the following conditions to be eligible to attend Defensive Driving School:

  • Their citation was for a DDS-eligible civil moving violation
  • They have not attended DDS for any Arizona civil traffic violation in the last 24 months
  • Their citation was not issued as a result of seriously or fatally injuring any person in a collision
  • Their case is not set for a hearing
  • They do not have a Commercial Driver License (CDL)

Benefits Of Enrolling In A DDS

Enrolling with an Online Traffic School saves you from wasting time in a boring classroom. Drivers can fulfill their traffic school requirement and clear their record online. They can take the course from any computer or laptop that has internet access. They can even carry their laptop to any wi-fi zone, coffee shop, or even the park, and complete the course in no more than four and a half hours. By law, the course should take at least four hours, and not more than four and a half!

Benefits of DDS for the offender are given below:

  • They will not have to pay a fine for one DDS-eligible traffic violation
  • They will not have to go to court for that violation
  • Their violation will be dismissed
  • They won’t have any points on their license for that violation

So enroll in a Defensive Driving Program today and keep your driving record clean. All you have to do is register online, take the course at your own pace, and earn your completion certificate. Everything from registration to completing the final exam can be done online.

“I am one of only a handful of Phoenix DUI Lawyers that focuses solely on DUI Defense representation.”

I have spent my entire career focused on Arizona DUI Defense representation, having personally defended over 4,200+ DUI clients in the past 19+ years.

If you’re looking for a divorce attorney, tax attorney, or civil attorney, I can comfortably say, "I’m not the one for you."

Coming up with traditional, as well as outside-the-box motions and defenses for my clients, often with good results, is the hallmark of my practice.

Lawyers that say they are "aggressive" or "will fight for you" are a dime a dozen. They use these phrases because they think people want to hear them. Being "aggressive" isn’t the same as being good and is often used to put on a show to hide the fact that they aren’t doing anything meaningful for the client.

The same is true for the lawyers claiming to do DUI Defense, Criminal Cases, Accident Cases, and Divorces. A Jack-of-all-Trades is a master of none! By handling all sorts of cases, they take away from their ability to truly focus on DUIs, and keep up to date on the latest changes in Phoenix DUI Defense Representation.

What I offer is intelligent, quality DUI Defense at an exceptional price.

I have not only taught other lawyers how to do DUI Defense Representation at statewide seminars, but I produced DUI Legal Guides used by defense lawyers across Arizona.

I am one of Arizona's most award-winning DUI Defense Lawyers, recognized nationally, including in a 2022 issue of USA Today.

There are no other private DUI Defense Lawyers in Arizona that have personally defended more DUI cases than I have. And as a bonus, I offer a flat rate for my legal services without any hidden charges. This guarantees that I offer some of the most competitive rates among all Arizona DUI Attorneys, while being the preeminent leader in the field of DUI Defense Representation.

Over the years, countless people have come to me after discovering that their first lawyer made a mistake, gave them false hope or false promises, or simply took their money and didn't do much to advance their case. And you would be surprised at how often this happens.

So, instead of wasting time and money on the wrong DUI Defense Attorney, do yourself a favor and get the proven and documented best DUI Lawyer in Phoenix and the surrounding areas of Maricopa County.
