Reduce Up to 4 Points From Your Driving Record
If you’ve accumulated points on your New York driving record, completing an approved Point & Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP) can help reduce up to four points for DMV suspension purposes.
While the points remain visible on your driving history, completing the course may prevent a suspension by reducing the active points counted toward your total.
It’s a simple step that can make a significant difference.
