Elkhart County Infraction Deferral for a Wakarusa Traffic Ticket
The Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney's Office operates an Infraction Deferral Program.
The current program provides a 12-month term for moving violations and a three-month term for non-moving violations. Fees are $252.50 and $92.50 respectively. (Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office)
Important: Deferral Has Its Own Course Requirements
The program can require defensive driving, insurance documentation, proof of a valid license, or other conditions. CDL holders are not eligible. (Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office)
Do not assume an ABetterDriver online DSP satisfies a county deferral condition unless the program confirms it.
