Driving school may be offered for defendants charged with moving violations, excluding defendants who possess a Commercial Driver’s License. Any defendant wishing to take driving school must apply for and register in person. Upon completion of the class, the defendant’s charge will be dismissed.
Taking the Program
If interested in driving school, please check with the court magistrate before entering a plea on your citation. If you plead guilty, it will be too late to take driving school.

If your ticket was issued by an agency other than the Town of Blountsville, and you have been approved by the issuing court to attend Defensive Driving School, you must register for class in person and you must pay for the defensive driving class at the time of registration. The costs for referral cases is $30.00.
