 Traffic Survival School (TSS) is designed to reach individuals who have exhibited a lack of knowledge and/or disregard for traffic laws and others' safety. The TSS program attempts to modify these drivers' behavior by instructing them how to avoid adverse traffic situations by increasing their knowledge of Arizona traffic laws, defining their responsibilities while driving, and, most importantly, improving their attitude toward safe driving.
In other words, if you run a red light, get a DUI, or have too many points against your license, MVD will require you to attend TSS to keep your driver's license in good standing. You’ll be notified of this requirement through a Corrective Action Notice from MVD.

Additionally, courts can and do order juveniles who have exhibited poor driving behavior to attend the course (helping them establish a lifetime of safe driving habits). Courts may also refer traffic violators to a Traffic Survival School as a condition of sentencing.

A quick note – Traffic Survival School should not be confused with Defensive Driving Schools, which are administered through the Arizona Supreme Court. Defensive Driving School is a court diversion program that allows eligible drivers to have the violation dismissed. If a driver chooses this option and is suitable, the offense will not be included on the driver's driving record, and no points will be assessed for the violation.

The Arizona Chapter National Safety Council administers TSS through a contract with ADOT. These schools train and assist errant drivers in the proper attitude and techniques in motor vehicles' operation and strengthen their knowledge of state motor vehicle laws. 

 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 for your records. A copy of the certificate is electronically sent to MVD for you. EXCEPTION: If your license is already suspended for failure to attend TSS, 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. 

If you have a "Plea" agreement with the Courts, using the course as a safety certification for a teen or adult driver, this course is for you. Please call us to provide you further information regarding the "Volunteer" participation.

You can sign up online, you will receive an email confirmation. If you sign up by phone, you will receive a reminder text message or phone call. Reminders are usually completed one to 1-2 days prior to your class date.
