What is the Traffic Offender Program and should I do it before court?
The Traffic Offender Intervention Program is a short education course. Completing it before you are sentenced is one of the things that genuinely helps.
Traffic Offender Program
Why it matters: Completing the program before your court date shows the Judge you have taken the matter seriously and have worked to reduce the chance of reoffending. The courts accept it can support a lighter penalty or a shorter disqualification.
What to do: Enrol early — ask the court or an approved provider at your first appearance, so you can finish before you are sentenced. Bring your certificate of completion to court. For repeat offenders, the court can also refer you to the Sober Driver Program.
