Requirements

You may be assigned to attend driver improvement school to resolve a single, active, traffic violation without having to attend court if all of the following conditions are met:

  • You have a valid driver's license. (Suspended licenses are not eligible.)
  • You have not participated in the Oklahoma City Municipal Court Driver Improvement Program in the past three years. 
  • You must enter a plea of no contest or guilty to the case and sign the enrollment form. 
  • You must pay a $50.00 Administrative Fee and a $50.00 Driving School Administrative Fee (totaling $100), plus court costs at the time of enrollment, no exceptions.  

Note:  If you have a commercial driver license or received a ticket while driving a commercial vehicle, it is, by law, reported to the state Service Oklahoma. 

Courses

The Driver Improvement School is an option to keep your ticket from being reported as a conviction on your driving record.  If all Driver Improvement School requirements are not completed by the due date, a conviction will be entered and the charge will be reported to Service Oklahoma.  Also, the City Prosecutor will be notified.  Not all violations are eligible for driving school.
