Court Directed:

Individuals who have been mandated by court to complete this course to vacate their traffic ticket or reduce fines.   

The court may have "required" you to attend, as is the case for juveniles who are convicted of their first violation. DMV does not award safe driving points in these mandatory attendance situations unless the judge so orders.  Individuals who are offered the "opportunity" to attend in exchange for probation, dismissal, or a lesser sentence are considered "volunteers" (see below). Anyone with a license who voluntarily completes the program receives 5 safe driving points. While DMV will only award points once every 2 years, there is no restriction on court assigned attendance.
