Who Should Take the Indiana Driver Safety Program?
You should take the Indiana Driver Safety Program if:
- The Indiana BMV sent you a notice requiring course completion
- A court ordered you to complete a driver safety course
- You want to voluntarily reduce points on your Indiana driving record
Any licensed Indiana driver is eligible to enroll. You do not need a notice or court order to take the course.
What Does the Course Do for Your Driving Record?
Completing the Indiana Driver Safety Program applies a 4-point credit to your Indiana Official Driver Record. Indiana uses a point system to track traffic violations. The 4-point credit reduces your total point count but does not remove individual violations or convictions from your record. For more details on point credits and the driver safety program, visit the Indiana BMV’s driver safety program page: the Indiana BMV.
What Happens After You Finish the Course?
After you finish the course, your certificate is available immediately in your Driving Logic account and is emailed to you as a PDF. Driving Logic reports your completion to the Indiana BMV within 24 hours. The BMV processes your completion and applies the 4-point credit to your driving record within 7 to 10 business days.
