Drivers 21 years of age or older
 
A driver 21 years of age or older is eligible for the four-hour Traffic Safety School Defensive Driving Course if that person is not currently enrolled in the course and was not enrolled in the course within the previous 12 months.

If a person is found to be ineligible to attend the four-hour course, the Traffic Safety School will, in most cases, contact that individual and offer the opportunity to attend the eight-hour course. There is an additional $20.00 fee for the eight-hour course.

A person is ineligible for the eight-hour course if during the previous 12 months, he or she was enrolled or attended both the four-hour and eight-hour courses.

If a driver is found to be ineligible for both courses, a conviction will be entered and reported to the Illinois Secretary of State. Any overpayment, less a processing fee, will be refunded.


WARNING: Drivers who are ineligible to attend Traffic Safety School and select Option “B” will receive a conviction that will be reported to the Illinois Secretary of State and entered on their driving records.
