How Driver Improvement Courses Help Reduce Points

How Georgia's Point System Works

The Georgia Department of Driver Services assigns demerit points for most traffic violations. Points accumulate over a rolling 24-month period. Reach 15 or more and your license is suspended — often with little warning.

Common violations and their point values include:

• Speeding 15–18 mph over the limit — 2 points

• Speeding 19–23 mph over the limit — 3 points

• Speeding 24–33 mph over the limit — 4 points

• Reckless driving — 4 points

• Aggressive driving — 6 points

• Passing a stopped school bus — 6 points

How a Course Removes Points

Completing a DDS-approved Driver Improvement course — like those offered at Hannor Safety & Driver Institute — qualifies you to have up to 7 points removed from your Georgia driving record. This benefit is available once every five years.

Court-Ordered vs. Voluntary Enrollment

Hannor's course qualifies for both court-mandated completion and voluntary point reduction. Whether a judge ordered you to attend or you're choosing to be proactive, our DDS-certified instructors meet you where you are — no judgment, just results.

The Insurance Connection

Fewer points on your record translates directly to a lower risk profile with your insurer. Most major Georgia carriers offer a 5–10% premium discount for completing a qualifying driver improvement course — an amount that often exceeds the cost of the class in the first year alone.
