6 Hours Defensive Driving Course

Source from DMV...

What are the benefits of taking a Defensive Driving/Accident Prevention course?

Completing an approved course will

• refresh your driving knowledge
• help to prevent you from losing your license in the event you accrued 11 or more points on your driving record
  • 4 points are 'subtracted' for the purposes of calculating a suspension if you have 11 or more points
  • the tickets/points do not physically come off your driving record
  • learn about the New York State point system
• reduce the base rate of your auto and motorcycle insurance premiums 10% each year for three years

Completing a course does not

• prevent a mandatory suspension or revocation
• eliminate your responsibility to pay a driver responsibility assessment
• give you a way to reduce future driver violation points
