Effective March 31, 2007, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts implemented stricter penalties for drivers under the age of 18 who hold a learner’s permit or a Junior Operator License. These penalties include mandatory attendance at a Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course. Motorists who are required to attend this course will receive a notice from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (“RMV”). The RMV may also require such motorists to attend other training programs.
The National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course – Alive at 25 program has been approved by the RMV to meet the Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course requirements. These classes are available statewide.
Go to the Course Schedule page to find a class near you and to register online.
- For more information about taking the course, read Frequently Asked Questions, or contact the National Safety Council at (866) 398-0864 or via e-mail at mass_driver@nsc.org. Office hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:30 am - 4:45 pm EST.
