Massachusetts Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course
In 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. Classes are available statewide.
