The good news is that the Wake County District Attorney recognizes the Council’s 4-hour Defensive Driving Course – Alive at 25 as an alternative to the traditional prosecution of traffic infractions for young drivers under the age of 25. Choosing to complete one four-hour course could be in your best interest to:

• Avoid Insurance Points and a Premium Increase
• Avoid Court Appearance
• Avoid Points on your North Carolina Driver’s License

To receive these benefits, you must meet all requirements as described on the Safe Driving Program Leaflet. The most common eligible violations for this program are:

• SPEEDING in 40mph zone or more (up to 15mph over limit)
