Determine Your “Course” of Action

Oklahoma offers Driver Compliance or Defensive Driving courses for point reduction. Completion earns two-points off your driving record. This option can only be used once every 24 months.

If you're in no hurry, the state also removes points for safe driving. Complete 12 months without a traffic violation and the Department of Public Safety sponges two points from your record. Make it through 36 months without a traffic conviction and your record is wiped clean of points.

NOTE: Points will not be removed if your attendance is court-ordered for a serious violation.

Complete an OK Driving Safety Course

The course must be approved by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). A completion certificate from a school not sanctioned by the state will not be accepted. If you have any doubts about the program, double-check with the DPS.

You have the option between a traditional classroom course (usually between six and eight hours) or an online program.

Submit Requirements to the Court

Most courses will directly submit your completion certificate to the DPS. Verify this with the school. Otherwise, you'll need to deliver it yourself. Points will not be removed until the DPS receives verification.

Check Your Oklahoma Driving Record

After completing the course, check your driving record and verify that two points were removed. Contact the DPS if you notice any errors.

Get an Auto Insurance Discount

Completing a Defensive Driving course may qualify you for a car insurance discount. Ask your agent.

If no discount rates are offered, consider shopping online for a new provider.
