Driving
Safety Request Form
(NOTICE: DO
NOT sign up and/or take a driver safety course until
you received a response from the court!)
I wish to enter a plea of NO CONTEST, waive my right
to a jury trial and request a 90 day extension to
complete a Driving Safety Course. I understand that
this plea enters a guilty judgment and this judgment
will be removed and no conviction will appear on my
record upon submitting proof of completion of the
course. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT FAILURE TO
COMPLY WILL RESULT IN ASSESSMENT OF THE FINE AND A
CONVICTION ON MY DRIVING RECORD.
