* The legislature of
New Jersey established a two-point motor vehicle reduction
program for New Jersey drivers who satisfactorily complete a
registered Defensive Driving Course.
The program administered
and regulated by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
requires a minimum of six (6) hours of classroom instruction
which is taught by an instructor certified by the New Jersey
State Safety Council.
The two-point reduction
program is voluntary, errant drivers are not forced to attend a
Defensive Driving Course.
Remember -- A student
may apply for point reduction only once every three (3) years.
Students may not reduce point total below zero. Students
with no points should not waste their once in three-year
opportunity by requesting point reduction.
