Interchangeable Terms

The terms Point Reduction Class, Driver Improvement Class, Corporate Driver Safety Course and Defensive Driving Class, are common names for this class. This course is AAA Accredited, taught by experienced instructors, and meets the requirements for most states.

If you are a South Carolina Driver, we submit paperwork to the DMV for your point reduction, if you are from another state this course must be court ordered, so check with your court before registering. 

About The Course

Have you been involved in a car accident? Received a ticket for a Traffic Violation? In most cases, we can Help. Completion of one of our AAA Driver Improvement Courses taught by current and former Law Enforcement Officers, can help your Motor Vehicle Record with a Point Reduction or by adding Safe Driving points, (point reduction/addition varies by state). If you are facing a Drivers License suspension for points, you must complete the course before your suspension begins. (This defensive driving course, while removing/adding points, will not automatically cancel your suspension once it begins). In many cases you will need to consult with your traffic court to determine if a Driver Improvement course is right for you.

The purpose of this course is to help prevent collisions and promote safe driving practices. 

This is an accredited AAA Driver Improvement program.

Additional Information

  • Point System: Most States use a point system to track traffic violations and assess penalties.

  • Accumulation of Points: Points are added to a driver’s record for traffic violations. The more serious the violation, the higher the number of points. (Just a reminder, this course is NOT for DUI Violations)

  • Point Reduction Eligibility: Drivers can reduce the number of points on their driving record by completing a state-approved defensive driving course. We teach the AAA Driver Improvement Course, which is accepted in most states but if you are Licensed in any state other than South Carolina, you will need to have an agreement with the court to bring in a Certificate of completion and they handle that at the court level.

  • Course Requirements: The defensive driving course must be approved by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) or your traffic court and typically takes 8 hours to complete.

  • Point Reduction Amount: Completing a defensive driving course can reduce up to 4 points from a driver’s record (If you have a South Carolina Drivers License)

  • Frequency of Reduction: Drivers can only take a point reduction class once every 3 years.

  • Course Completion: After completing the course, we will submit a certificate of completion to the SCDMV to have the points reduced but you will still need to pay whatever fines or court costs required to settle your ticket.

  • Impact on Insurance: Completing a defensive driving course may also result in lower insurance premiums, some insurers offer discounts for this course but others may not, this is between you and your insurance provider to work this out.

  • Consequences of Point Accumulation: Accumulating too many points can lead to higher insurance rates, license suspension, or other penalties.

  • Checking Your Driving Record: Drivers can check their point balance and driving record through the SCDMV website (or equivalent website of your drivers license state) or students can contact them directly.

Affordable, Educational, Classes

Sign Up For Class

Is there a test that I have to pass? While there is not a formal test at the end of class, there are several short quizzes you must complete throughout the course. These are not designed to fail students but to re-enforce key concepts from the course.

How do I get my Certificate of Course Completion? Once you have successfully completed the course, your class instructor will send your Certificate to your email. (Note: Please allow up to 3 days for your Instructor to send Certificates)

What if I have a technical problem during the course? If you get disconnected, your instructor will allow to rejoin the class right away. We understand that technical problems occur at times but these should not take significant time to be resolved. If your instructor feels that you have missed too much of the course, then you will not be allowed to re-join and must repeat the course. We will NOT issue a refund in this case but we will will offer the student an opportunity to retake the course the following week, free of charge.

Can I just record the course and take it later? No, this is a LIVE, Interactive, course and must be done through ZOOM. (Note: A ZOOM subscription is not required, users simply need a phone or similar device with a stable internet connection and a charging cord). 

When do I need to take the course? Simply put, this varies by state. If you are a South Carolina Driver you can take the course anytime after your traffic violation and we will submit all required paperwork to the SCDMV for point reduction processing. If you are from another state, we will provide you with a Certificate of Completion which you will need to submit to your court. (You will be fully responsible for handling this part of the process and must work this out with the court, district attorney, or department of motor vehicles before you enroll in this course).

Will this course dismiss my ticket? No, your traffic court makes all decisions related to ticket dismissals.

Can I take the course on a phone or tablet? Yes, while a computer is preferable, the course can be completed on a mobile device.
