To be ineligible to take a Defensive Driving (DD) course in Texas, you need to meet certain criteria. The correct answer, option D, lists specific violations that would make you ineligible, such as reckless driving, speeding significantly over the speed limit, and failure to maintain car insurance. These are serious violations that would prevent you from taking the course. Options A, B, and C are not reasons for ineligibility to take the course. Driving above the speed limit (option A) does not automatically disqualify you, as it may be the reason you are considering taking the course in the first place. Having a clean driving record (option B) is actually a positive factor and would not make you ineligible. Being charged with a traffic violation (option C) does not necessarily mean you cannot take the course, unless it falls under the serious violations listed in option D.
