FAQ

Does completion of the program erase, remove or delete any violation, conviction, or notice of original number of points on my driving record?

No, point reduction will only affect points that have occurred during the 18 months prior to completion of the course. Any traffic violations, traffic convictions, and points will continue to show up on your driver's license. However, the DMV will not count up to four points against your driving record toward revocation or suspension of driver's license.
