First Time User
If you've never attended New Jersey online defensive driving course before, don't worry, we have 14 years of experience making online learning as simple and trouble-free as possible.
Driving is a privilege, not a right. If you break traffic laws, your driving privileges could be suspended or revoked resulting in fines and even imprisonment. The seriousness of your violations - and resulting penalties - are tracked by State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) using a point system.
If you are convicted of a moving violation, MVC will penalize you by adding points to your driving record. You will only get points on your record for moving violations - points are not assessed for parking and other violations. A table is provided for more information on the number of points earned for specific violations.
How do points affect you?
- If you get six (6) or more points within three (3) years on your current driving record, you will be assessed a surcharge.
[ Learn more... ] - If you get 12 or more points on your current driving record, your license will be suspended. You will receive a notice of scheduled suspension by mail. [ Learn more... ]
- Getting points on your license may also increase your insurance rates. Contact your insurance agent for details.
How can I get rid of points on my record?
Although MVC keeps a permanent record of all the points you've earned, it is possible to earn point deductions by remaining violation and suspension-free for one year or by taking a qualified online defensive driving course approved by MVC.
Successful completion of our State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) approved online defensive driving course will remove two (2) points from the accumulated points you currently have on your driver's license and you will also receive 5% auto insurance rate reduction for next three (3) years.
