Point Reduction

Point reduction applies only to points assessed for violations that occurred within the 18 months immediately before course completion. It does not affect points for earlier violations, and cannot be used as "credit" against future violations or points. If your license has already been revoked or suspended, or if a violation hearing has already been scheduled, point reduction will not affect that action.

Insurance Discount

The 10% reduction on the Collision, Liability and No-Fault portions of your auto and motorcycle insurance is good for up to three years. After three years, you may take the course again to maintain the discount.
