We will notify the NY DMV after you complete the defensive driving course. The completion will be entered on your New York driving record and the NY DMV will reduce up to four eligible points on your driving record. "Point reduction" means the NY DMV will not count up to four eligible points on your driving record toward license revocation or suspension. Points must have been applied to your driving record within the past eighteen (18) months to qualify for a point reduction using a defensive driving course. We will also mail you a certificate of completion to present to your insurance company.
