Defensive Driving PIRP courses are state authorized and online for most states. In some states, Defensive Driving such as driver improvement programs and accident prevention courses are ideal for dismissing a traffic ticket/citation for a motor vehicle moving violation and other minor traffic offenses. Speeding tickets are the most often common offenses which result in traffic fines or driving safety deferrals. A deferred adjudication or deferred judgment is a probation because a judge or court official authorizes the deferral of the fine. If a defendant remains on probation, usually 6 months to a year without getting a second charge, the case is dismissed. Many courts will ask the violator to take a defensive driving or driver improvement course in lieu of the fine and instead of a conviction record on the drivers license.
