Traffic Survival School
Traffic Survival Schools, not to be confused with Defensive Driving Schools administered through the Arizona Supreme Court, are designed to reach individuals who have exhibited a disregard for traffic laws and the safety of others. The TSS Program attempts to modify the behavior of these drivers by teaching them how to avoid adverse traffic situations by increasing their knowledge of Arizona traffic laws, defining their responsibilities while driving, and most importantly, improving their attitude toward safe driving. Arizona Traffic schools train and assist errant drivers in the proper attitude and techniques in the operation of motor vehicles and strengthen their knowledge of state motor vehicle laws.
As a result of poor driving behavior, courts frequently order juveniles to attend the course in order to help establish a lifetime of safe driving habits. Additionally, courts may refer traffic violators to a Traffic Survival School as a condition of sentencing.
There are several circumstances that will cause an MVD order:
| |
• DUI - Extreme DUI
• Red light violation - IF you have a red light violation (28-645A3A, 28-645A3B, or 28-645A3C) and you pay the fine instead of attending a defensive driving class, you will be ordered by the MVD to attend a Traffic Survival School. Keep in mind that by attending Traffic Survival School the points will not be removed from your driving record.
• Aggressive Driving - First offense you will be required to attend a Traffic Survival School course and your license may be suspended for 30 days.
• 8-12 points on license within 1 year of first offense
• An accident that involves a death or serious injury
• First conviction for a driver who has a Graduated Driver's (Class G) License |
About The Class
Traffic Survival School is controlled by Department of Motor Vehicles, which mandates not only the amount of time spent in class, but also the curriculum to be taught. Instructors must be court approved and must attend regular refresher training.
