Ticket Dismissal in Oregon
Determine Your “Course” of Action
Oregon uses its Driver Improvement Program mostly for drivers who’ve received a certain number of convictions or traffic accidents; however, sometimes a judge will offer the program to a student driver or first-time offender for ticket dismissal.
Enroll in the OR Driver Improvement Program
Drivers who are 14 years old but younger than 18 enroll in the Provisional Driver Improvement Program, and drivers 18 and older enroll in the Adult Driver Improvement Program.
The goal of both programs is to reduce traffic violations and accidents.
Your court will provide enrollment information specific to your situation.
Submit Requirements to the Court
Usually:
- Your court provides a deadline by which you must complete the program.
- The Driver Improvement Program will provide you with proof of completion, or send the proof directly to your court.

Check Your Oregon Driving Record
If you complete the Driver Improvement Program for ticket dismissal, be sure to check your driving record to make sure the ticket doesn’t appear.
If it does, contact your court or the DMV.
Get an Auto Insurance Discount
Generally, the Driver Improvement Program isn’t good for auto insurance discounts―especially because most drivers enroll due to traffic offenses.
However, it’s best to ask your provider about the possibility of a discount before just assuming you won’t get one.
