True or False: A defendant not entitled to take a DSC must pay an administrative fee equal to the potential fine.

The statement is false. There are specific circumstances under which a defendant may not be required to pay an administrative fee equal to the potential fine if they do not qualify for a Defensive Driving Course (DSC). Typically, the requirements for taking a DSC can vary, including factors such as the type of violation, prior convictions, or the amount of the fine. If a defendant does not meet the criteria for the DSC, generally, they may have to pay the fine itself but not necessarily an additional administrative fee. Understanding these nuances helps clarify why the statement is not universally true.
