It's a 6-hour in-person or Zoom course, also known as Driver Improvement, designed to teach drivers about safe driving attitudes and behaviors. The course can be taken for ticket dismissal, fine and point reduction, points removal, insurance discounts, license reinstatement or personal education. The cost is $95, set by the Georgia Department of Driver Services.

1. Ticket Dismissal:

Many judges in Georgia will dismiss or not process a moving violation ticket if the offender completes the six-hour course. This means the ticket won’t be reported to insurance or appear on the drivers record.

2. Fine and Points Reduction:

Under Georgia law, some courts allow offenders to complete a course, resulting in a 20% fine reduction and no points added to the drivers record.

3. Points Removal:

• Drivers may take the course once every five years to remove seven points from their driving record.

• Drivers aged 21 and older who accumulate 15 points within 24 months will have their license suspended.

• Drivers under 18 who accumulate four or more points within 12 months will have their license suspended for six months.

• Drivers under 21 will have their license suspended for six months for a single moving violation that results in an assessment of four or more points.

4. Insurance Discounts:

Georgia drivers can take the 6-hour Defensive Driving course to receive a 10-15% discount on their auto insurance premium. The exact discount varies by insurance company, so please check with your insurer for specific details.

5. License Reinstatement:

If your license has been suspended in Georgia, often courts require the completion of a Defensive Driving course before it can be reinstated.

6. Personal Education:

Parents often attend the course for an insurance discount and want their newly licensed teen driver to attend for personal education. If your teen has completed our Drivers Ed program, many insurance companies offer a discount for Drivers Ed until age 21. In this case, the Defensive Driving class may not provide an additional discount but is still beneficial for personal education. Please check with your insurer for specific details.
