How This Class will Reduce Your Points and Your Insurance Premiums

If you take a DMV-approved accident prevention course, you can

reduce your driver violation point total by a maximum of four points, and

save 10 percent on your automobile liability and collision insurance premiums.

You cannot receive the point or insurance benefits for an Internet course.

• An accident prevention course cannot prevent a mandatory suspension or revocation.
  

• An accident prevention course and point reduction does not affect a driver responsibility assessment.
  

• You cannot use the course as a credit against future driver violation points.
  

The DMV computer system automatically applies the point reduction when your course completion is added to your record. Your record shows your convictions and the points they carry, and has a notation that you completed the course and that a reduction of up to 4 points has been applied. Your driver record does not show any summary or total that includes the subtraction of the points. The reduction is automatically applied within the DMV computer system.

How the DMV Calculates Your Point Total

The DMV computer system automatically calculates your point total as follows:

You must be convicted of the traffic violation for the points to be added to your point total, but the calculation of your point total is based on the date of the violation, not the date of the conviction.

The points for violations that all occurred within the last 18 months of one another are added together to calculate your point total.

The record of the conviction, and the points, are listed on your driver record for as long as the conviction remains on your record. The information about the conviction and points is not removed after 18 months from the violation date. Only the calculation of your point total changes.

Driver Violation Point System

The DMV driver violation point system helps to identify drivers who commit several traffic violations during a specific time period.

Remember that the point system is not the only reason for a driver license suspension or revocation. There are mandatory suspensions or revocations. For example, the DMV must revoke your driver license if you are convicted of three speeding violations within an 18-month period, regardless of how many driver violation points you have.
