The Indiana Driver Safety Program is a BMV-approved online defensive driving course that lets you earn a 4-point credit on your Indiana driving record. You can take it if required by the Indiana BMV, a court, or voluntarily.
The Indiana Driver Safety Program provides a convenient way to meet state or court requirements and improve your driving record. This guide explains who must take the course, how to enroll, what to expect, and how completion affects your driving record.
Who Needs to Take the Indiana Driver Safety Program
You must take the Indiana Driver Safety Program if the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) requires it after two or more traffic offenses within 12 months, or if a court orders you to complete a driver safety course. Any licensed Indiana driver age 14 or older may also enroll voluntarily to earn the 4-point credit. For official requirements and point system details, see the Indiana BMV’s driver safety program page.
How the Indiana Driver Safety Program Course Works
The course is fully online, self-paced, and available in English and Spanish. It consists of 4 lessons and 24 topics covering defensive driving, Indiana traffic laws, safe road sharing, and risk management. You must complete all lessons in order, and each section is timed to meet the minimum 4-hour requirement. There is no final exam. After finishing all content and a short survey, your certificate is issued immediately.
Enrollment, Cost, and Access
You can enroll at drivinglogic.com, where your account is created during checkout. The course costs USD 34.95, which includes your certificate, BMV reporting, and unlimited access from any device. Payment can be made by credit card or Apple Pay. You can start the course right after payment and log in and out as needed—progress saves automatically.
BMV Reporting and the 4-Point Credit
Driving Logic reports your course completion to the Indiana BMV within 24 hours. The BMV processes your completion in 7 to 10 business days, after which a 4-point credit is applied to your driving record. The credit offsets points but does not remove violations. You can earn the 4-point credit once every 3 years.
