The Defensive Driving Program is a court-administered program that presents traffic safety classes through 16 commercial schools.  The classes are for people who have received a traffic violation and  wish to have it dismissed through the completion of a class.

The Supreme Court's Defensive Driving Program oversees the program, publicizes the rules governing the program, and certifies the schools and instructors that present the classes.

The goals of the Defensive Driving Program are to educate drivers and to divert civil traffic cases from the court system, while still providing a sanction, or penalty, for violating traffic laws.
