The assertion that only judges may grant driving safety courses, but clerks may give defendants the paperwork is true.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Clerks may grant driving safety courses
• D. Both may grant driving safety courses

Answer: (A)

The key idea is who has the authority to require or approve a driving safety course versus who handles the paperwork. In court, the judge has the authority to order a defendant to attend a driving safety course as part of the case disposition. Clerks, meanwhile, handle the administrative side—issuing the necessary forms, notices, and documents the defendant needs to enroll and comply with the court’s order. So the judge grants or orders the course, and clerks provide the paperwork but do not grant the course themselves. That’s why the statement is true.
