The Point and Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP) is also known as the Defensive Driving Course or Motor Vehicle Accident Prevention Course. Private companies and organizations throughout New York State offer this course.

Completing an approved course will:

• Refresh your driving knowledge
• Help to prevent you from losing your license in the event you accrued 11 or more points on your driving record
• Reduce the base rate of your auto and motorcycle insurance premiums 10% each year for three years

Completing a course does not:

• Prevent a mandatory suspension or revocation
• Eliminate your responsibility to pay a driver responsibility assessment
• Give you a way to reduce future driver violation points

Learn more about PIRP and find an approved course.

You can submit a complaint about:

• Driver education programs or instructors
• Driving schools or instructors
• Point/insurance reduction program delivery agencies, sponsors, or instructors
• Pre-licensing course instructors

Complaints must be submitted in writing to the New York State DMV by mail or fax. You can download the complaint form online.
