About the Course
The NY Safe Driver program offers a fully online Defensive Driving / Point & Insurance Reduction–style course that is available to drivers in New York, New Jersey, and other participating states. Our online curriculum is designed to make safe-driving education simple, flexible, and convenient—allowing you to complete your required coursework at your own pace and from any device.
For New York drivers, the course meets all state requirements for the NY Defensive Driving / PIRP program, qualifying participants for insurance savings and point reduction benefits. For drivers in New Jersey and additional states, the online course provides a modern, easy-to-follow defensive driving experience that aligns with state-specific guidelines where applicable.
In addition to the online program, in-person classroom instruction is available exclusively for New York residents, delivered by a certified instructor. These classroom sessions satisfy New York State’s PIRP requirements and offer the same benefits as the online course.
Whether you prefer to learn online or in a classroom setting (NY only), NY Safe Driver provides a streamlined, accessible experience supported by modern course design, automatic progress saving, and fast certificate processing.
