retain your driver license
in the following circumstance:

in a crash and are found
at fault and
- someone was transported
to the hospital or
- you had two crashes
in a two-year period,
which resulted in property

on your driving record.

If, as a result of a
moving violation, you
elect to attend and complete

cannot go up and your
policy cannot be cancelled
because of this violation,
unless this involved
a crash where you were
at fault.

added to your driver
license record, adjudication
of guilt is withheld,
safe driver status is
maintained if applicable,

this status on your
