Defensive Driving School

Georgia's DDS regulates the defensive driving schools within the state. The six-hour classroom course must be taken through one of the state-approved schools and must not cost more than $75. Behind-the-wheel instruction is not a requirement for this program.

Lower Your Insurance Premiums

A defensive driving class could possibly lower your insurance premiums, but each insurance company has different policies. Check with yours.

Ticket Dismissal and Points Reduction

If you're hoping to take a Georgia defensive driving course to get a ticket dismissed, your fate is up to the court overseeing your violation. The court will take into consideration your conviction and driving record.

However, there's no question about reducing points on your driving record: Georgia state law allows you to take one defensive driving course every five years for a points reduction.
