The Arizona Supreme Court sets very strict guidelines of eligibility. Your ticket cannot be associated with an accident that caused a death or serious injury. In addition, you can’t attend driving school if you have in the previous two years. You can find out quickly if you are eligible by looking at your violation code on your ticket. All acceptable violation codes at this website: http://www.supreme.state.az.us/drive/viocodes.htm.

In Arizona, you may or may not be able to use defensive driving courses if you have a commercial driver’s license. Even if you are ordered to attend traffic school, you may not be able to get out of a traffic ticket (especially an Arizona speeding ticket) by taking the classes.

You might also be eligible for taking an online Arizona defensive driving school course. However, the rules are strict surrounding these requirements, since the state has to be able to regulate that the person taking the classes is the same person that got the original citation. Driving University is the Arizona Supreme Court approved course provider, and taking a class through this program through this online system will give you the same benefits as taking a course offline.
