Can I take the defensive driving course on my phone or tablet?

Yes. All IMPROV® courses are fully mobile-friendly and work on any modern device — desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet. No app download is required. Your progress saves automatically so you can switch devices mid-course.

Will completing a defensive driving course lower my car insurance?

Yes, in most states. Insurance carriers in 34 states offer premium discounts of up to 10% for completing an approved defensive driving course. In New York, a 10% discount on liability, no-fault, and collision premiums is mandated by law for three years after completing the PIRP course.

Is there a final exam?

Most IMPROV® courses do not have a traditional final exam. The New York PIRP course has no final exam — only short 2-3 question chapter quizzes that can be retaken unlimited times. Some states may require a brief knowledge check at the end of each chapter.

How quickly will I receive my completion certificate?

Most certificates are issued electronically upon completing the course. For Arizona, your certificate can arrive in as little as 30 minutes. For New York, IMPROV® automatically reports your completion to the NYS DMV. Physical certificates can also be mailed if required.

Can I take the course to dismiss a traffic ticket?

In many states, yes. Traffic school and defensive driving courses can be used to dismiss eligible traffic violations in California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and others. Eligibility depends on the type of violation, your driving history, and court approval.
