Frequently Asked Questions

Traffic Survival School (TSS) is a program that aims to change drivers' behavior through education on Arizona traffic laws and safe driving practices. If you commit violations, such as running a red light or accumulating too many points on your license, the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) may require you to attend TSS to maintain your driving privileges. You'll receive a Corrective Action Notice (CAN) from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) regarding this requirement.

Additionally, Courts can order adults/juveniles with poor driving behavior to attend TSS as part of a Plea Agreement, and/or order them to attend TSS to help them develop long-term safe driving habits. TSS is administered by the Arizona Chapter of the National Safety Council (ACNSC), which focuses on improving drivers' attitudes and knowledge of motor vehicle laws.

It’s important to note that TSS is different from Defensive Driving Schools, which allow eligible drivers to have certain violations dismissed, preventing points from being added to their records.

Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) requires 8 hours of instruction. Class begins at 8:00 AM and ends at 4:30 PM. During class, you will be allowed breaks and lunchtime. 

 1) Your TSS letter or 39-month Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) 2) Photo ID 3) $160.00 cash, money order, or Card. Food and drinks are welcomed.  

You may obtain your 39-month Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) at AZMVDNOW.GOV and bring it to class in place of your letter. Or, contact us for assistance at no additional charge (allow 24 hours for school to verify). Please know, if you are not in the system and did not confirm your eligibility prior, the instructor must turn you away. If you are unable to maneuver the website, give us a call, we can help!

 MVD allows 60 days from the “Date Action Begins” to complete a TSS class. At the end of class, you will receive a Certificate of Completion (COC) for your records. We will send you an electronic update to MVD after you complete the TSS class. 

EXCEPTION: If your license is already suspended for failure to attend TSS timely, you MUST pay a reinstatement fee. Attending our class will NOT reinstate your license. To reinstate your license, visit an MVD office or MVD’s website: www.azmvdnow.gov.  

If you are Court Ordered (for something OTHER than DUI) and your court paperwork specifically states in the decision (signed by the Judge) that you are required to attend "traffic survival school" then Rules of the Road is the class for you. Bring with you to class a full copy of the court paperwork, photo ID, and payment. Contact Rules of the Road to ensure your compliance is recorded into the system. 

The TSS course can be part of a "Plea" agreement with the Courts. It can also be taken as a safety certification for a teen or adult driver. Please call us for further information regarding "Volunteer" participation.

You can sign up on this website, and we will cover the rest. You will receive an email and text confirmation, and you will also get a reminder text the day before the class.

 Not a problem!  Give us a call, text us, or send us an email.
