Amboy is a small incorporated town in southeastern Miami County, but it has enough local traffic context to support a concise standalone page.
State Road 19 is the town's principal regional transportation connection, while Amboy's local streets quickly transition into rural Miami County roads. Miami County's official transportation planning identifies SR 19 as a north-south route that passes directly through Amboy and continues north toward Peru.
If you received a traffic citation in Amboy, first determine whether you are dealing with a pending Miami County case, Pretrial Deferral, a BMV Driver Safety Program requirement, a court-ordered course, or the voluntary four-point credit.

Amboy Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
ABetterDriver.com provides an Indiana BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program.
BMV-Required Online DSP
Indiana drivers can be required to complete a BMV-approved DSP after qualifying traffic convictions. The current BMV rule requires completion within 90 days after notification when the agency imposes the requirement.
Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit
Any Indiana driver can voluntarily complete an approved DSP and receive a four-point credit on the Official Driver Record.
The credit is available once every three years.
It reduces the point calculation. It does not erase the Amboy traffic ticket or conviction.
Court-Ordered Online Courses
A court can separately order a driving course. Indiana BMV expressly states that a court order does not necessarily require a BMV-approved DSP.
Miami County Pretrial Deferral for an Amboy Ticket
Miami County currently offers Pretrial Deferral for qualifying traffic infractions.
The current fee is $192.50. If the participant successfully completes the program without another violation, the Prosecutor states that the ticket is dismissed.
Current published reasons for disqualification include:
Being under 18 at the time of the offense
No valid driver's license
Having a CDL
An OWI conviction
A moving-violation judgment within the previous year
A deferral during the previous year
Speeding more than 25 mph over the limit
Passing a school bus
Failing to yield to an emergency vehicle
An offense involving an accident
The application must currently reach the Prosecutor by noon on the working day before the court date shown on the ticket.
Important: Deferral Is Not ABetterDriver's Online DSP
Miami County's published deferral rules do not state that every participant must complete ABetterDriver.com or another BMV-approved online DSP.
Do not take the course assuming it automatically puts an Amboy citation into deferral.
