When a defendant with a provisional driver's license charged with a moving violation is granted deferred, the only mandatory requirement is to take a driving safety course.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only mandatory is driving safety
• D. Not required

Answer: (B)

Deferred disposition for a defendant with a provisional license involves more than just taking a driving safety course. While completing the driving safety course is often required, the court typically imposes several other conditions during the deferral period. These can include paying fines and court costs, possibly additional surcharges, and staying out of further trouble or not committing new violations. Some cases also require a probation period or other restrictions, and you may need to provide proof of insurance or meet other program requirements. If all conditions are met, the charge can be dismissed or the conviction avoided; if not, the deferral can be revoked and the original charge may be prosecuted. That’s why the statement is not correct.
