B.   Limit.  A person may not receive more than one deferral
within a seven-year period for moving violations and one deferral
within a seven year period for nonmoving violations.

C.   Conditions.  For moving violations the conditions may
include attendance at traffic safety school, payment of some or
all of the presumptive fine and an administrative fee.  For
nonmoving violations the conditions may include payment of some
or all of the presumptive fine and an administrative fee.

D.   Administrative Fee.  An administrative fee shall be charged.

E.   Dismissal.  After the end of the deferral period, the court
