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.
