Register for Arizona defensive driving school early, because classes fill up quickly. When you get there, you’ll be asked to check in with your identification and a copy of the eligibility affidavit you’ve received from the court. Class, whether you attend online or offline, will be a minimum of five and a half hours long, but may last much longer depending on your program.

Here are some of the topics you’ll cover:

• Vehicle safety and maintenance

• Driving under all road and weather conditions

• Drunk driving

• Traffic signs and signals

• Turning and passing

• And more

The main idea behind this course is to help make Arizona’s roads safer. Driving is a privilege, not a right. At the end of the course, according to Arizona Supreme Court rules, you must take a defensive driving exam. In order to successfully complete the course, you must score 80% or better on the first part and 90% or better on the second part.
