Who may grant driving safety courses?

• A. Clerks
• B. None
• C. Both
• D. Judges

Answer: (D)

The ability to grant a driving safety course is a court decision, not something handled by a clerk or by the defendant. The judge in the municipal court has the authority to approve or deny the option to take a court-approved driving safety course as a way to resolve a qualifying traffic offense. Clerks handle the paperwork and processing, but the empowering decision comes from the judge. If the judge approves the course and the defendant completes it within the required timeframe, it typically affects penalties or points according to court rules and state law.
