Depending on your insurance company, you can begin your insurance discount on the date of course completion, regardless of when your insurance company receives the certificate! You must take this course every 3 years to maintain your insurance discount. Please contact your insurance provider for more details on how this discount applies to your auto insurance.
The New York Defensive Driving Course can help you reduce up to 4 points from your driving record. This does not apply to points received after the course.

Please note: Points do not get removed from your record. DMV defines the term “point reduction” as meaning points on your driving record will not count toward license revocation or suspension.

How long does it take for my information to be submitted to the DMV?
It takes up to 60 days for the information to appear on your abstract.
How long does it take to receive my certificate in the mail? Can it be emailed or faxed?
Courses that are taken in a classroom take 4 to 6 weeks. Courses taken online takes 7 to 14 business days. The certificate is printed on watermark paper and therefore cannot be emailed or faxed.
How long is the certificate good for in order to receive the insurance discount?
Your certificate is good for 3 years.
How many points are reduced on my driving record?
Up to 4 points are reduced on your driving record.
If I receive a ticket in New York State but I have an out of state driver’s license, what do I need to do in order to have the points on my license reduced?
In order for the points to be reduced on your driver’s license, you will need to contact the NY DMV and ask for a temporary 9-digit number. When you take the NYS Defensive Driving Course and are asked for your driver’s license you need to enter the temporary number in order to receive credit for taking the course and thereby have your points reduced.
If I took a course and then received a ticket, can I take the course again before the 3 years is up?
If you took the course for the first time for insurance purposes only, you may take the course at any time after paying your ticket. However, if the first time you took it was for point reduction, then you need to wait 18 months in order to take the course again.
Why am I not able to move onto the next module after completing the quiz? The next button is not highlighted.
Each module is timed; therefore, you need to allow the time to run out before you can advance to the next module. The time count down is located in the top right hand corner. Once the time has run out, the next button will be highlighted for you to press and advance to the next module.
