New York Defensive Driving Course Online | I Drive Safely

How to Reduce Points From Your Driving Record

1. Enroll in and complete your New York PIRP online course.
   I Drive Safely will automatically report your course completion to the DMV, so you don’t have to worry about any paperwork. Please note that New York state law mandates that you finish your PIRP course within 30 days.
2. Check your driving record and verify that you’ve received credit for your course.
   Your traffic conviction and your point total will still be visible on your record for up to 4 years. Once your PIRP course has been applied, the DMV will not count up to 4 points toward any license revocation or suspension.

How to Earn a Discount on Your Monthly Insurance Rates

1. Check with your insurance provider for eligibility.
   Though the insurance discount is mandatory for anyone who completes a PIRP course, there may be extenuating factors in your driving history that might prevent you from qualifying. Contact your insurance provider and double check that you’re good to go.
2. Enroll in and complete your New York PIRP course online.
