Missouri orders all drivers convicted of a DWI to enroll in SATOP,
the Substance Abuse Traffic Offender Program, before their license will
be reinstated. Depending on your BAC at the time of your arrest,
you may also be ordered into an intensive program, also.
Because Missouri mandates enrollment in these programs, Defensive
Driving/Traffic School may not be accepted by the court as an
alternative to assessing points. However, an Attorney may make
this offering on your behalf. Even if the proposal is rejected by
the court, voluntary enrollment in a Defensive Driving School is a
beneficial idea.

of Missouri DWI as well as other driving safety topics. While the
