About the Course

Why take our Online Defensive Driving course?

Attendance of Idaho Online Defensive Driving will bring you many benefits. Traffic citations received in the past or those received recently will have points attached to them. The conviction appears on the record as will the points. Upon successful completion of our course, three (3) points will be removed from your driving record. Notation of the citation will remain, but demerit points will not be attached to it. Idaho drivers may participate in a defensive driving course such as Idaho Online Defensive Driving once every three (3) years for point removal. The three (3) year time restriction begins on the date of the last completed course. You may also complete our course for insurance reductions as well. Check with your insurance company to see if a reduction will apply after you complete our program. Your employer may also want you to complete our program to refresh your driving habits and knowledge. At any time, you may take our course as a volunteer.
