To be eligible to take a Defensive Driving (DD) course in Texas, you must meet several criteria. The correct answer is D because it encompasses all the necessary eligibility requirements. Let's break down the components of answer D: 1. Possess a valid Texas driver's license or permit: This is essential as the course is designed for Texas drivers to improve their driving skills and dismiss traffic tickets. 2. Admit guilt to a traffic violation and wish to use defensive driving as an alternative: To take a Defensive Driving course, you must acknowledge your wrongdoing and opt for this course as a way to handle the traffic ticket. 3. Have not taken a course to dismiss a traffic ticket within the past 12 months: You are only eligible for a DD course once every 12 months, so not having taken such a course recently is a requirement. 4. Are not a commercial driver: Commercial drivers have different regulations and requirements, so this criterion ensures that the course is for non-commercial drivers. The other options lack some of these important key requirements, making them incorrect.
