If you are the principal operator of a motor vehicle, you will receive a minimum 10% discount on the base rate of your current liability, no-fault and collision premiums (including property damage, bodily injury and personal injury protection) each year for three years.

To be eligible, complete the Defensive Driving Course (DDC) through one of our approved training agencies.

Your three-year discount will apply to premiums to all vehicles for which you are listed as principal operator, including:

Automobiles
Trucks
Recreational vehicles
Motorcycles

Four (4) points will automatically be deducted from the total on your driver record if you have incurred violations during the 18-month period prior to completing DDC.

The point reduction could help you avoid a license suspension! Points which are reduced remain on record but are not counted by the DMV in determining administrative actions against license.

Please note, the point reduction will not cancel a mandatory suspension or revocation, e.g., three (3) speeding convictions within 18 months; nor will it cancel any action which is already being taken against a motorist's driving privileges.

Who is Eligible?

Youthful drivers
Experienced drivers
Mature drivers
Assigned risks - reduction in liability base rate regardless of driver record
Commercial vehicle policies - where there is clearly defined principal operator or all drivers complete DDC! (Experienced rated policies excepted. However, improved driving experience, as a result of DDC completion, will result in lower premiums... the reduction can be much greater than the 10% required by law.)
