How many points will be removed from my driving record if I complete defensive driving course in NY?
Upon your completion, we will notify New York DMV… it will automatically reduce your active point total by up to four points. Important: Completion of a course under the “Point & Insurance Reduction Program” does not remove, delete, subtract, or erase any violation, conviction, or notice of original number of points from your driving record. Even after you complete the course, most violations, conviction and points assessed will continue to show on your driving record for up to four years. Violations and convictions involving drugs or alcohol will remain on your driving record for ten years. “Point reduction” means the DMV will not count up to four points on your driving record toward license revocation or suspension. Main benefit of Point Reduction is to minimize your chances of getting your license revoked. You can take a point reduction class every 18 months… you also will benefit from insurance reduction.
