Good Driver’s Deferred Sentence Program
The Court offers a Good Driver Deferred Sentence Program that may keep a traffic violation from going on a person’s driving record. Please note that most moving violations qualify for the program. However, violations for Using a Mobile Communication Device while Operating a Motor Vehicle do not qualify for the Good Driver Diversion Program. To qualify for the class, the driver must:
- Possess an Oregon’s driver’s license (no CDL licenses permitted)
- Have a clean driving record for the last five years (no moving violation convictions) •
- Have not taken a driver diversion program in the past five years
The program requires the applicant to attend a one-time 3 hour traffic safety education course within 60 days. The cost of the class is $50, which will be paid directly to UTurn 180 in addition to any reduced fine paid to the court. The applicant must not receive another conviction during the 60 day deferred sentence period.
With successful completion of the Deferred Sentence Program, the charge will be dismissed and not recorded on the applicant’s driving record.
If any of the conditions are not met, the deferred sentence will be revoked. A conviction will be entered on the applicant’s driving record and the original fine will be imposed.
