We can help!

If your operating privilege is suspended, you will not be eligible to reinstate until you have successfully completed the Failure to Yield Right-of-Way course. This course has been designed to reacquaint you with vehicle right-of-way rules and provide awareness of keeping drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists safe.

We offer the 2-hour Failure to Yield Right Of Way Course at an affordable price.

After successfully completing the failure to yield right-of-way course:

• Your instructor will provide the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) proof that you have successfully completed the course. 

• Once notification has been provided to the DMV, please check your driving status and eligibility to reinstate your operating privilege if you have been suspended.
