Defensive Driving in South Dakota
State Approved Traffic School & Defensive Driving Online Courses.
State-Approved Courses
South Dakota's National Safety Council, not the Motor Vehicles Division (MVD), sponsors a state-sanctioned Defensive Driving Course (DDC).
Ticket Dismissal and Point Reduction
Participation in this course will not lower your points. If you want to take the class to dismiss traffic tickets, you'll need to ask your district court if this is possible.
Insurance Discounts
The class also lacks the clearance to automatically reduce your car insurance premiums, but most carriers do offer a break. You should call your insurance carrier and inquire if this possibility exists.
Course Specifics
One-day classes generally last for eight hours and costs $85. You cannot take this via online; it's classroom only.
