Frequently Asked Questions
What if I did not receive a letter from the DSHS? You are only eligible for point reduction if you received the DSHS eligibility letter. If you did not receive one, you cannot use this course for point reduction — but you may still take it for an insurance discount or ticket dismissal if applicable.
What if I miss the 90-day deadline? Contact the Tennessee DSHS directly. Driving Logic cannot extend or modify state deadlines.
