If you received a traffic ticket in Brazil, Indiana, you may be looking for an online traffic school, information about the Clay County traffic court, or an Indiana BMV-approved Driver Safety Program.
ABetterDriver offers an online Indiana Driver Safety Program for drivers who need an approved DSP or are eligible to seek the Indiana four-point credit. The course can be completed online rather than requiring a trip to a classroom.
Brazil is the Clay County seat and the community where the county's traffic court, Clerk's Office, Prosecutor's Office, and BMV branch are located. The city also sits along U.S. 40 and has an important connection to I-70 through State Road 59. INDOT transportation projects affecting U.S. 40 and the SR 59 area make highway and intersection awareness particularly relevant to Brazil drivers. (Government of India)

Where Do Brazil Traffic Tickets Go?
Traffic and ordinance violation cases from Brazil are generally assigned to Clay Superior Court under Clay County's current local case-allocation rules. The rules designate cases classified as traffic infractions and ordinance violations for Clay Superior Court. (Government of India)
The county's traffic materials identify the Clay Superior Court Traffic Division at the Clay County Courthouse in Brazil.
Your citation remains the controlling document for your individual case. If the citation identifies a particular court, appearance date, or procedure, follow that information.
Court That Handles Traffic Tickets From Brazil
Clay Superior Court Traffic Division
609 E. National Avenue, Room 209 Brazil, IN 47834 Phone: 812-448-9032
The Traffic Division's published instructions explain that a driver who wants to contest a ticket must notify the Clerk's Office by the deadline shown on the Uniform Traffic Citation and request a trial date. Certain offenses require a court appearance rather than routine traffic-clerk processing. (Government of India)
Examples listed by the court include accidents, operating under the influence, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, driving while suspended, and driving without ever being licensed. (Government of India)
Clay County Clerk and Traffic Payments
The Clay County Clerk's Office is located at:
609 E. National Avenue, Room 209 Brazil, IN 47834 Phone: 812-448-9032
The Clerk specifically directs people with questions about traffic tickets to this number. The county also states that traffic and other court payments can be made through PayGov or by telephone at 1-866-480-8552. (Government of India)
The court's traffic instructions also explain that payment must be received by the applicable appearance date and that personal checks are not accepted under the published traffic-payment procedure. (Government of India)
What to Do After Getting a Traffic Ticket in Brazil
If you received a Brazil traffic ticket:
Read the entire citation.
Identify the court and appearance or payment deadline.
Determine whether the citation is eligible for payment.
Search for the case through Indiana MyCase when appropriate.
Contact the Clay County Clerk if you need clarification.
Check whether you may qualify for Clay County's infraction deferral program before simply paying the ticket.
Determine whether your case requires a BMV Driver Safety Program or another course.
Verify the exact course requirement with the court or Prosecutor's Office.
Complete the required course before the applicable deadline.
Keep your completion documentation.
Indiana MyCase allows users to search public court cases using a case number, citation number, party information, or other search criteria. (Government of India)
Brazil Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
An Indiana Driver Safety Program is the state's approved defensive-driving education program. The Indiana BMV says approved DSP curriculum is available online, in a classroom, or by DVD, and approved courses must be at least four hours long. (Government of India)
ABetterDriver is listed by the Indiana BMV as an approved DSP provider with an online and DVD course. (Government of India)
BMV-Required Online Driver Safety Program
The BMV can require a driver to complete a DSP after qualifying traffic convictions. If you receive a BMV notice requiring a DSP, follow the deadline and instructions contained in that notice.
Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit
Successful completion of a BMV-approved DSP can result in a four-point credit on an Indiana Official Driver Record. The BMV says the credit can be applied once every three years. Completing the course does not erase the underlying traffic citation. (Government of India)
Court-Ordered Online Driver Safety or Driver Improvement Courses
A court or prosecutor may impose a course requirement that is different from a BMV DSP.
Do not assume that an ABetterDriver online Driver Safety Program satisfies a Brazil or Clay County court requirement unless the responsible court or prosecutor confirms that it does.
Clay County Infraction Deferral for a Brazil Traffic Ticket
Clay County currently operates an Infraction Deferral Program through the Prosecutor's Office.
The Prosecutor's Office states that qualifying speeding offenses are automatically mailed infraction-deferral paperwork. It describes a typical six-month program costing $192.50 and says the program can allow a driver to avoid points and convictions for the traffic ticket on the official driving record. (Government of India)
This is not the same as an Indiana BMV Driver Safety Program.
If your Brazil ticket is connected to deferral, verify the specific requirements with the Clay County Prosecutor's Office before enrolling in a course.
Clay County Prosecutor's Office
609 East National Avenue, Room 326 Brazil, IN 47834 Phone: 812-448-9028
Driving and Traffic Conditions Specific to Brazil
U.S. 40 Through Brazil
U.S. 40 is one of Brazil's most important transportation corridors. INDOT identifies U.S. 40 projects in and around Brazil, including traffic-signal modernization near Murphy Street and a planned pavement-replacement project between Belle Street and County Road 200 East. (Government of India)
For drivers, this means conditions along U.S. 40 can involve signalized intersections, turning traffic, local access points, and transportation work.
U.S. 40 and Staunton Road
INDOT's transportation program includes an intersection improvement project involving U.S. 40 and Staunton Road in Clay County. The project includes added turn lanes and is intended as a safety improvement. (Government of India)
Drivers approaching major intersections should check mirrors, anticipate turning vehicles, and avoid following too closely.
SR 59 and I-70 Access
State Road 59 provides Brazil with a direct connection toward I-70. INDOT's Clay County route information identifies the SR 59 and I-70 interchange as an important transportation point. (Government of India)
Drivers transitioning between city streets, SR 59, and I-70 should adjust speed and following distance as traffic conditions change.
Current Brazil Road Work
INDOT's current U.S. 40 project calls for approximately 1.6 miles of full-depth pavement replacement between Belle Street and County Road 200 East. The project also includes curb and gutter, sidewalks, an enclosed storm sewer system, and replacement of structures over Billy Creek and Harmony Drain. Construction is currently anticipated for 2029-2030, so drivers should not confuse the planned project with an active work zone. (Government of India)
