Simple, convenient, and easy to use. I got all my co-workers to take it for the insurance discounts. You have to make sure your insurance company accepts it first but we had no problems.

Washington D.C. Driving Course Certificate — Available Instantly

D.C. Driving Record and Insurance Considerations

The DC DMV maintains driving records for all licensed D.C. motorists. Moving violations — including speeding, failure to stop, and unsafe lane changes — result in demerit points on your D.C. driving record. Accumulating 10 or more points can lead to license suspension.

While Washington D.C. does not have a universal court-diversion ticket dismissal program, completing a defensive driving course is a proactive way to demonstrate safe driving intentions to your insurance carrier. Many carriers recognize completed coursework when calculating premiums. Verify the discount terms with your insurer before enrolling.
