DDI’s Oregon Traffic Safety Course is designed to meet the requirements of Oregon municipal, justice, and circuit courts statewide. We currently serve courts across the Willamette Valley, Portland Metro, Southern Oregon, Central Oregon, the Columbia Gorge, Eastern Oregon, and the Coast. Each court has its own policies regarding which courses it accepts for diversion. If you are unsure whether your court accepts DDI, contact the court clerk listed on your citation or contact us and we will confirm for you.

When you receive a traffic citation in Oregon, many courts offer a diversion program. You request diversion from the court before your arraignment date. If approved, the court gives you a set timeframe (usually 90 to 120 days) to complete an approved traffic safety course. Once you finish the course and submit your certificate, the court may dismiss or reduce the violation so it does not appear on your driving record.

The Oregon Traffic Safety Course (DDI-OR-TL1, $24.95) is a general 4-hour defensive driving course used for traffic court diversion. It covers Oregon traffic laws, hazard recognition, and safe driving strategies. The Oregon Distracted Driving Avoidance Course (DDI-OR-DDAC, $19.99) is specifically required for first-time mobile device violations under ORS 811.507. If your citation is for using a phone while driving, you need the DDAC. For all other traffic violations, the traffic safety course is the right choice.

DDI’s Oregon Traffic Safety Course is $24.95. That price includes everything: the full course, audio read-along, unlimited exam retakes, and certificate delivery to your court. There are no hidden fees or upsells. The Oregon Distracted Driving Avoidance Course (DDAC) is $19.99, also with no additional charges. Many competitors charge $48 or more and then add fees for audio, retakes, and certificate processing.

After you pass the final exam, your Certificate of Completion is generated instantly. DDI sends the certificate directly to the court listed on your citation. You will also receive a copy by email. The court then processes your diversion and may dismiss or reduce the violation. Processing times vary by court.

Oregon courts generally allow diversion once every five years for the same type of violation, though policies vary by court. For distracted driving violations under ORS 811.507, the DDAC fine suspension is available for first-time offenses only. Contact your court directly to confirm your eligibility for diversion.

Completing the course is one part of the diversion process. After you submit your certificate (DDI sends it directly to your court), the court reviews your case and decides whether to dismiss or reduce the violation. In most cases, successful completion of the course and compliance with all diversion terms results in the ticket being dismissed. However, the final decision rests with the court.
