Defendants granted the right to take a driving safety course must complete the course and submit evidence of completion within 120 days.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only if the court orders

Answer: (B)

When a defendant is granted the right to take a driving safety course, the court will set a deadline for completing the course and submitting proof, but there isn’t a universal 120-day requirement that applies in every case. The specific time frame comes from the court’s order or from the applicable statute. If a deadline is set, you must meet it; if no deadline is stated, you should complete the course promptly to avoid jeopardizing the diversion. Submitting evidence after a deadline can lead to the option being revoked and the case moving forward as if the driving safety course had not been used.
