For the first time in New York, The New York State DMV has approved online New York defensive driving programs.  Originally, NY defensive driving course's like this one (also known as PIRP's, as in NY Point Reduction and NY Insurance Reduction Program) were only taught in the classroom.  This resulted in sitting in a classroom surround by strangers for a few evenings or for a whole Saturday.  Needless to say, this  was never considered to be a great time and most people avoided taking the course altogether!

Now that New York Defensive Driving courses are available online, this gives NY motorists a new, convenient option of attending defensive driving.

Have you received a ticket in the State of New York?  Do you wish you could reduce your auto insurance?  If so, our defensive driving program can help you!

When you participate in our New York State defensive driving course, it will help refresh your driving knowledge with a review of time-tested safe driving tips and an overview of today's vehicle and traffic laws.  Like any classroom defensive driving class, this course is required to be at least 320 minutes in length

New York Point Reduction Program - NY Defensive Driving Class

NY point reduction- When you participate in this NY Defensive Driving Course, you may be eligible to reduce as many as four (4) points on your driving record. The NY DMV computer will automatically note your eligibility to receive the reduction.


Taking this New York State Approved Defensive Driving course for a NY Point and Insurance Reduction cannot reduce your point total lower than zero.
If your license has already been revoked or suspended, or if a violation hearing has already been scheduled, point reduction will not affect that action.

Point reduction does not prevent or cancel a mandatory revocation or suspension for violations such as DWI, DWAI, or three speeding violations within 18 months.

Points may be reduced only once in any 18-month period. The DMV point system and insurance company "point" systems are separate and not related. Point reduction on your driving record does not affect points assigned by your insurance company for violations and accidents.

Completion of a defensive driving course under the "NY Point & Insurance Reduction Program" also cannot prevent or reduce the calculation of points affecting a "Driver Responsibility Assessment." The most recent information about the "Driver Responsibility Assessment" program is available from the NY DMV Internet Office.
