The Arizona Defensive Driving Course must be completed at least 7 days prior to your court date in order to have the citation dismissed.
In order to qualify for a full refund, you must call to cancel the payment within two days from date registration for a Defensive Driving class. After the third day, you will only receive a partial refund. If you decide not to take the Defensive Driving online course, we can reschedule you for a live Defensive Driving class at no additional cost; however, should you start the Defensive Driving online course and request a refund, you will only receive a partial refund. If after attending a defensive driving class, it is determined that you are ineligible, a refund will not be provided.
Please note, a legible copy of your citation and government issued ID must be received and reviewed by our staff prior to being able to access the Defensive Driving online course. Payment must also be made in full prior to the Defensive Driving online course being activated.
The Arizona Defensive Driving Program satisfies the requirement set forth by the Arizona Supreme Court.
The benefits of taking an NTSI online or classroom defensive driving course are numerous. Some benefits include your citation being dismissed and not being sent to the MVD. No points will be assessed and you can avoid increased insurance rates. The flexible schedule available allows you to take the defensive driving class as an online defensive driving course at your own pace or in a classroom with a certified instructor. At NTSI, our traffic school has proven to reduce the recidivism rate.
