Kentucky offers a pre-conviction election traffic violation diversion program. Under this mechanism, eligible drivers may elect to participate in the program before conviction, potentially avoiding points on their driving record. The election may be exercised once within a 12-month period.
Costs and course hours for the program vary by provider and court jurisdiction rather than being set at a statewide level. Drivers should contact their local approved provider or court for specific details regarding fees and instructional requirements.
For authoritative information about Kentucky's program, including eligibility criteria and provider listings, drivers should consult the state's official traffic safety resources.
