When must a JOL holder complete a Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course?

A JOL (Junior Operating License) holder is required to complete a Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course after accumulating 3 or more moving violations within a 12-month period. This requirement is in place to ensure that young and novice drivers are educated about safe driving practices and the consequences of poor driving behaviors.

The focus on three or more moving violations is significant because it indicates a pattern of unsafe driving that could pose risks not only to the driver but also to other road users. The course aims to address these behaviors and promote a better understanding of the rules of the road, reinforcing the importance of responsible driving. Completing this course is often a prerequisite for continuing to hold the JOL, thereby helping to reduce the likelihood of future violations and enhance overall road safety.

In contrast, options referencing fewer violations or specific incidents, such as an accident, do not trigger the requirement for this particular course, reflecting the emphasis on habitual offenses rather than singular occurrences.
