Fayette County Attorney's Traffic Safety Program

Angela C. Evans, Fayette County Attorney


I am excited to announce the creation of Drive Safe Lexington! We have entered a new era of criminal justice that focuses on effective and efficient prosecution, embraces technology, and provides solutions that keep Lexingtonians and anyone who visits or passes through Fayette County safe.

Drive Safe Lexington is the Fayette County Attorney, Angela Evans’, new interactive and convenient option to resolve traffic tickets without attending court or in-person traffic classes. This new online program is designed to increase the participant’s awareness of safe driving habits and traffic safety at their own pace, without losing points on your license and entering a guilty plea.

Successful completion of Drive Safe Lexington results in no points against your license and the dismissal of the traffic ticket.

Most moving violations are eligible for the program. However, the Fayette County Attorney’s Office reserves the right to deny applicants based on the seriousness of the violation or when Kentucky law precludes participation. For most violations, the administrative fee for Drive Safe Lexington is $200. However, some cases will carry an administrative fee up to $400.

As explained on the back of a traffic citation, prepaying the fine and court costs is equivalent to pleading guilty, and it is not part of the process for Drive Safe Lexington.

Register below using your citation number to see if you are eligible for Drive Safe Lexington. If you qualify, you will be notified in an email within four (4) days of your registration. The program must be completed no later than 72 hours (3 days) before your court date.

Drivers under the age of 18 are required by Kentucky law to appear in court with a parent or guardian who signed for your license.
