Yes. The New Jersey Defensive Driving Course is timed. Each section has a minimum viewing time and you cannot advance until that time has elapsed. This ensures the course meets the state-required 6 hours of instructional content.

The course is not timed in the sense of a countdown or a deadline to finish. It is timed in the sense that you cannot rush through it — each section enforces a minimum amount of time before the next one becomes available. The timer tracks only your active time in the course. If you leave the course open and walk away, the time does not count.

Timed sections set a floor, not a ceiling. You can spend as much time as you want on any section. The 6-hour minimum is the required total, but most drivers take between 6 and 8 hours depending on their reading pace.

Module quizzes and the final exam have no time limit. You can take as long as you need to answer each question.
