Massachusetts Driver
Attitudinal Retraining Course
( only for Massachusetts Residents )
"DRIVE ALIVE"
Is this program mandatory?
Yes. A new law passed in January 2007 by the Massachusetts legislature
imposed new restrictions and mandatory training under the Junior
Operator License program. Penalties for drivers under the age of 18
who receive a violation for drag racing, speeding, Cell-Phone use and
various other violations, may include completion of the Massachusetts
Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course.
How long does the course take and what is it like?
Drive Alive is a four-hour interactive course taught by experienced
instructors that incorporates video segments, discussion, lecture and
role-play to create a fun,thought-provoking experience.
Upon completion of the DRIVE ALIVE course, participants will be able to:
-Understand how emotions, inexperience, peer pressure and
state-of-mind effect driving
- Discuss distracted driving, its dangers, and how to avoid it
- Describe how driving under the influence substantially increases the
risk of injury and death
- Define and give examples of aggressive driving
- Discuss the legal, financial and personal consequences of poor decision
making
- Understand defensive driving techniques
For fees on the course, please call our office at 1-508-699-9390!
How will I know if I am required to complete this course?
The Massachusetts RMV will notify you by mail that you are required to
attend the Massachusetts Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course.
When must I register for and complete this course?
You should complete the course during the suspension period so that
you can either reapply for a Permit or your Junior Operator License can
be reinstated when the suspension ends.
What will happen if I do not complete the course within the
required time frame?
If you do not complete the course by the end of the suspension period,
your Junior Operator License will not be reinstated and your suspension
will continue until you do satisfactorily complete the course. Permit
holders who are suspended will not be allowed to reapply for a new
permit until such time as the course is completed.
