In recent years, statewide collisions, injury and violation frequencies have increased significantly. The primary causes are poor driver skills and poor driver attitudes. Until recently, there has been little opportunity to improve driver performance for drivers who were not high school age and eligible for driver education.

Now, a program produced with your interests in mind is available - the Driver Training Associates Point Reduction and Insurance Reduction Program. This program will give all drivers an opportunity to learn new defensive driving strategies, sharpen techniques and enjoy themselves while doing so.

The program offers participants the following benefits:

  • Gives 10% liability and collision insurance premium discounts to principal vehicle operators for 36 months following program completion. All NY State Board of Insurance regulated insurance companies comply.
  • Reduces up to four (4) violation points on your Department of Motor Vehicles drivng record. Course may be repeated every 18 months for point reduction.
  • Develops perceptual, procedural, judgemental and driver behavioral skills necessary to drive safely.

Research reports from the Department of Insurance and Motor Vehicles cite the following for Program graduates:

  • Collisions and crashes reduced up to 20%.
  • Moving violation convictions reduced up to 57%.

The six-hour classroom Driver Training Associates Point Reduction and Insurance Reduction Program, delveloped for licensed and experienced drivers, is the most proven effective program researched in the driver improvement industry and is approved by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.

You will learn:

  • "The Identify, Predict, Decide and Execute (I.P.D.E.) Strategy" for collision-free driving.
  • How to apply defensive driving to everyday situations.
  • How your emotions and personality may adversely affect your driving behavior, and techniques for controlling these factors.
  • How these and other driving strategies, including those shared by group participants, make the program enjoyable and future driving safer.

Until recently, if a motorist completed the MVAPC and had no points active on his/her license at the time, they were ineligible to receive point reduction for the next eighteen month period. So, if they received a violation after attending our course, they could not receive point reduction even if they took a subsequent course in the next eighteen months, since they had attended a course in the previous eighteen months. Now the students will receive the reduction because, even though a course was taken in the prior eighteen months, they did not receive point reduction credit for it and therefore are still eligible to receive it.

Note: A defensive driving course taught through the DMV-certified Point/Indurance Reduction Program does NOT qualify as the required 5-hour classroom pre-licensing course.

On class day:

  • UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE, UP TO FOUR (4) POINTS CAN BE REDUCED OFF OF YOUR DRIVING RECORD. *Course can be taken, to reduce points, once every 18 months.
  • AS PRINCIPAL DRIVER OF A VEHICLE, SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE ENTITLES YOU TO RECEIVE A MINIMUM 10% REDUCTION IN THE BASE RATE OF YOUR AUTO LIABILITY AND COLLISION INSURANCE PREMIUMS EACH YEAR FOR THREE YEARS.
  • STUDENT NEEDS TO BRING THEIR LICENSE, $35.00 (PLEASE BRING THE EXACT AMOUNT IN CASH), A PEN (BLACK INK) AND LUNCH/SNACK MONEY.
  • ** CASH PAYMENTS ONLY; CHECKS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED. **
  • STUDENT NEEDS TO ARRIVE ONE HALF (1/2) HOUR BEFORE CLASS STARTS TO COMPLETE REGISTRATION.
  • NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS MAY ALSO BRING IN AN INTERPRETER, IF YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE HAND.
  • PLEASE CALL TO CONFIRM THE DATES & TIMES TO MAKE SURE THE CLASS HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED OR THE DATES / TIMES CHANGED.

Driving Tip
Leave early, plan to arrive 10 minutes before the appointed time. Speeding does not increase your ability to arrive on time, rather it only increases your chances of not arriving at all.
