Which of the following is true regarding driving safety course for under 25?

• A. Driving safety course is optional for under 25
• B. Driving safety course must be included for under 25
• C. Driving safety course is required for all ages
• D. Driving safety course is never required

Answer: (B)

Driving safety education is required for drivers under 25 as part of the court’s sentence in many Texas municipal court traffic cases. The idea is to place a mandatory course on younger drivers to promote safer habits and reduce the likelihood of repeated violations. Because of that age-based requirement, the course must be included in the disposition for someone under 25, rather than being optional. It isn’t a blanket requirement for everyone, and it isn’t never required. Completing the course can also affect how the violation is treated in terms of points and penalties, aligning the outcome more with a safety-focused resolution than a simple conviction.
