The Traffic Safety Program allows eligible participants to attend a class online instead of receiving a conviction for the ticket. Upon successful completion of the program, your ticket will be dismissed and no points will be added to your driving record.
If you want to see if you qualify for this program DO NOT PAY YOUR TICKET. By paying your ticket, you are pleading guilty to the offense, adding points to your license, and will be unable to sign up. Read below for more information.
Eligibility includes
| • You can provide proof of automobile insurance • Your traffic violation does not have any accompanying criminal charges • You have not had a moving traffic violation within the last 24 months • You have not been through the Kettering Traffic Safety Program within the last 24 months • You admit that you committed the traffic violation(s) • You have not already paid the fine for your ticket, and • You must register and pay for the class by the court date listed on your ticket |

| • Driving under suspension • Driving under the influence (of alcohol or other drugs) • Drag Racing • Reckless operation/fleeing police • Passing a stopped school bus • Leaving the scene of an accident • Speeding violations in a school zone, if the speed is 10 mph or greater above the posted school zone speed limit • Traffic accident violations and violations that may result in liability issues (e.g. assured clear distance) • Intentional damage to property or injury to persons |
The Traffic Safety Program Director has the right to deny anyone based on inability to meet program criteria.
Sign Up for the Program
To sign up for the Traffic Safety Program, report to the Probation Department between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:15 pm, Monday through Friday. Do so on or before your scheduled Court date. The cost is $185 for a single violation; additional violations are $50 each. Fees must be paid for at the time of enrollment. There is an additional $24.95 fee for the online class.
Please be aware: failure to complete the online class by the deadline will result in a guilty plea being accepted by the Court and reported to the BMV. Points will then be assessed to your license. The fees previously paid will be applied to Court costs and fines. For questions about the program, please contact our Probation Department at 937-296-3275.
