Improv Traffic School is defensive driving made easy!

How Much Will I Save?

Completion of a New York DMV-approved Point and Insurance Reduction Program (also known as PIRP and Defensive Driving) provides a 10% reduction for 3 years of the motorist's liability, no-fault and collision insurance premiums. Comprehensive premiums fire and theft are not reduced. The student must calculate his/her discount based upon their individual policy. If you have a traffic ticket, the benefit is even greater! New York Defensive Driving courses can mean a 4-point reduction on your driving record. You can take a course for point reduction every 18 moths even if you have already completed it for insurance discount.

Who Is Eligible To Take This Course?

Any New York driver is eligible for this defensive driving course and will save money on their insurance whether they have points on their insurance or not.

I have more than one driver and/or multiple vehicles on my NY insurance policy.

The discount will be applied to your primary vehicle. However, you will receive an additional discount for every driver who completes the defensive driving course. Make it a family day! We strongly encourage and offer discounts if you enroll other members of your family.

How and when do I receive my course completion certificate?

We will provide you with an instant proof of completion and will mail you the original certificate the next day after completion. Most insurance companies will require an original copy. We also will file a completion with the NY DMV to reduce points on your driving record.

We also offer expedited mail delivery options at an additional fee if you prefer an overnight deliver service.

Do I receive point and insurance reduction if I take an I-PIRP course?

Yes. When you complete an I-PIRP course, you receive the same benefits as when you complete a classroom PIRP course. You can reduce your driver violation point total by a maximum of four points (only points received within eighteen months before the date of course completion can be reduced), and you can save ten percent on your auto liability and collision insurance premiums.

Fantastic, funny, and really easy!

I love the convenience of being able to pick times that worked for me. Having to give up an entire day for a course would be very difficult. Although this was the first time I have ever used this method, I enjoyed the humor. As a writer myself, I think it's a valuable way to teach!
Laury R., Rockville Centre, NY

Excellent course!

I thought this was a great way to deliver the course to people. I think it was great because you are able to do it whenever you have a few minutes in your day and it doesn't have to be all in one sitting, and I loved that you had 30 days to do it. I enjoyed the comedy aspect because it was much more interesting to sit and read this and watch these videos if a few laughs were involved. Overall, I did learn a lot and I enjoyed the course thoroughly.
