What can JOL drivers do to potentially reduce penalties for minor infractions?

The best option for JOL drivers to potentially reduce penalties for minor infractions is to attend a Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course. This course is designed to enhance a driver's understanding of safe driving behaviors and attitudes. Completing this course can demonstrate a commitment to improving driving habits, which may be viewed favorably by the courts or the Registry of Motor Vehicles, potentially leading to reduced penalties for infractions.

In contrast, while taking a defensive driving course may provide valuable skills and knowledge for safe driving, it typically does not carry the same recognition for direct penalty reduction as the Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course does, specifically within the context of JOL regulations.

Ignoring the minor infraction would not be beneficial, as it could lead to increased penalties or further legal issues. Additionally, requesting a meeting with an officer is unlikely to yield any substantial reductions in penalties unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant reconsideration of the infraction.
