Deferred disposition is a process in which the judge requires the defendant to adhere to certain conditions. If a defendant successfully complies with the conditions, the case will be dismissed. If the defendant does not comply with the terms of probation, a fine may be assessed and a conviction entered on their driving record.

To request Deferred Disposition for an offense, you must appear in person on or before your court date. You may contact the court clerk during regular business hours for more details, to determine if deferred is an option for your citation.

If you are under the age of 25 and receive a moving violation, you will be required to take a driving safety course as a condition of the deferred disposition per state law.

Show Cause Hearing

If you are granted Deferred Disposition and/or deferment pending completion of the Drivers Safety Course and fail to present the appropriate documents and/or complete the course in the time required, you will be notified to return to court and explain to the Judge why you failed to comply. You must be present at this hearing, failure to do so will result in a conviction, a fine being assessed, and a warrant for your arrest being issued.
