Avon Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
Indiana's Driver Safety Program is a statewide BMV program. ABetterDriver offers the Indiana DSP online.
BMV-Required Online Driver Safety Program
The Indiana BMV can require qualifying drivers to complete an approved Driver Safety Program. Follow the deadline and instructions contained in any BMV notice you receive.
Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit
Eligible Indiana drivers may complete a BMV-approved DSP for the state's four-point credit. The credit is separate from dismissal of the underlying traffic ticket.

A court may require a driver to complete a course. A BMV-approved DSP does not automatically satisfy every court requirement, so verify the requirement with the court handling your case.
Hendricks County Infraction Deferral for an Avon Traffic Ticket
The Hendricks County Prosecutor's Office operates an Infraction Deferral Program for eligible traffic violations.
The current program lists speeding, ignoring traffic signals or stop signs, improper lane usage, illegal passing, tailgating, failure to yield, and failure to use turn signals among eligible infractions. Basic eligibility includes receiving the citation in Hendricks County, being at least 16, not having a CDL, and not having admitted guilt or paid the ticket. Final eligibility is determined by the Prosecutor's Office. (Hendricks County Prosecutor's Office)
Most participants qualify for a nine-month deferral period. The Prosecutor's Office requires participants to complete an online driver safety course through an approved provider and fulfill the other terms of the deferral agreement. (Hendricks County Prosecutor's Office)
Important: Confirm the Course Before Enrolling
The Prosecutor's Office says the deferral program requires an online driver safety course through an approved provider, but the county's current page does not identify ABetterDriver by name.
If your goal is Hendricks County deferral, contact the Prosecutor's Office before taking action on your ticket and confirm that the specific course you intend to take satisfies your deferral agreement.

Driving and Traffic Conditions Specific to Avon
U.S. 36 Through Avon
U.S. 36 is one of Avon's defining traffic corridors. Town transportation planning identifies U.S. 36 as a major east-west route and documents traffic concerns around the U.S. 36 corridor, including the areas around Ronald Reagan Parkway, Dan Jones Road, and Raceway Road. (Avon, IN)
For drivers, the combination of commercial entrances, intersections, turning movements, and regional traffic means that lane changes and following distance deserve particular attention.
Ronald Reagan Parkway
Avon describes Ronald Reagan Parkway as an interstate-grade divided highway connecting the community with major Indianapolis-area interstate routes. The corridor also connects Avon with the Indianapolis International Airport area. (Avon, IN)
Drivers transitioning between Ronald Reagan Parkway and local roads should expect a different environment from neighborhood streets, particularly around major intersections.
Roundabouts and Local Roads
Avon's transportation planning includes multiple roundabouts and intersection projects. The town also maintains a list of primary snow-removal routes that includes Avon Avenue, Dan Jones Road, Ronald Reagan Parkway, Raceway Road, and several county roads. (Avon, IN)
Drivers should reduce speed appropriately, scan for entering traffic, and be prepared for changing pavement and lane conditions.
Current Avon Road Work
As of August 20, 2026, Avon's roadwork page identifies paving planned for Bluewood Way in the Settlement, Gold Coin Drive and Monterey Circle in Pines of Avon, and Maple Drive in Avon Heights. The town also maintains an updated roadwork map for temporary work and restrictions. (Avon, IN)
Because roadwork schedules can change, check the Town of Avon's current roadwork information before traveling.
