Driver Improvement Course/ RoadWise
Everyone knows that traffic tickets can result in court appearances, fines, and higher insurance costs. However, you may have additional options that can save you money while improving your driving with potential reductions on a traffic violation in exchange for completing the 4 - 8 hour Defensive Driving Course.
Drivers may request to attend a Driver Improvement Course if they accumulate four points (on the 8-point scale) or seven points (on the 12-point scale) on their driving record. To receive point credit, an individual must qualify and have a conference with an administrative hearings officer.
Our Defensive Driving Courses are not only designed to meet court related requirements. They also cover topics that can literally save you and your families’ lives. Today’s driving environment is more challenging and stressful than ever before. Students who take these classes say the training makes them more aware of dangers on the roads and safer drivers.
