3.2 Diversion and Plea Agreement Restrictions; Traffic Violator School

In this countermeasure, drivers who have accumulated a specific number of demerit points on their driver’s licenses are given the option of attending Traffic Violator School in order to reduce their punishment.

Effectiveness Concerns: Although there is some research examining the effectiveness of this countermeasure, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the positive effects outweigh the negative effects that have also been observed.

Further information about the known research, potential effectiveness, costs, use, and time to implement is available in Appendix A3, Section 3.2.
