For a defendant with a provisional license and moving traffic violation, deferred disposition requires retaking the driving test at DPS.

• A. Surrender the provisional license.
• B. Attend a driving safety course.
• C. Retake the driving test at DPS.
• D. Pay court costs before grant.

Answer: (C)

When a defendant uses deferred disposition, the court postpones guilt and sets conditions that, if met, can lead to dismissal. For someone with a provisional license who commits a moving traffic violation, the licensing authority (DPS) requires retaking the driving test as part of those conditions. This ensures the driver still meets the current standards for operating a vehicle with a provisional license and demonstrates competency before the case can be dismissed. Once the test is completed and all other conditions are satisfied, the deferred disposition can result in no conviction on record. Attending a driving safety course or paying court costs may occur in some cases, but the specific requirement described here—retaking the driving test at DPS—is the mandated step for provisional license holders facing a moving violation under deferred disposition.
