What could lead to mandatory attendance in Traffic Survival School (TSS)?

Mandatory attendance in Traffic Survival School (TSS) is often a consequence of accumulating too many points on a driving record. In Arizona, the motor vehicle division assigns points for various traffic violations, and once a driver reaches a certain threshold, it indicates a pattern of risky driving behavior. This school is designed to educate drivers on safe driving practices and to encourage better decision-making on the road.

Accumulating points shows that a driver may not be adhering to traffic laws, which can lead to increased risks of accidents. Therefore, the program serves as a corrective measure to help improve their driving habits and reduce the likelihood of future violations. In contrast, a single speeding ticket or failing a driving test may not carry enough weight to necessitate such a program, and while a second DUI conviction is serious, the specific requirement for Traffic Survival School is directly related to point accumulation.
