Defensive Driving Information

The City of Mountain Brook offers defensive driver classes to allow qualifying tickets to be dismissed and off your record.  If you are 19 or older you may come to the magistrate's office prior to your court date to see if you qualify.  If you are under the age of 19 then you must come to court to request driving school from the Judge.  Depending on your driving history, you may qualify for either the 4-hour or 8-hour defensive driving class.  The cost of the 4-hour defensive driving class is $100 plus court cost (generally $165).  The cost of the 8-hour defensive driving class is $150 plus court cost.  Payment is due at time of registration.  If you are determined to be eligible to attend the defensive driving class, the magistrate will give you all the pertinent information regarding dates, times, and location of the class. Mountain Brook judges do not allow these classes to be taken on-line.
