Jamie has 5 points and completes an MVC-approved defensive driving course. Three years ago, Jamie took another approved course and received point credit for it. What is Jamie's point total after the new course?
Correct answer: Jamie has 5 points, because the MVC credits a course only once every five years.
Why
Defensive driving courses are voluntary, teach crash-prevention skills, and may also lower insurance rates. Points also drop by up to 3 for every 12 months with no violation or suspension, but never below zero. Plan a course for when it will count, and focus on driving without new violations.
