If a court ordered you to complete the driver improvement clinic, whether you receive safe driving points is determined by the court — not by Driving Logic.
How It Works
The court decides at the time of your case whether your successful completion will result in safe driving points being added to your record
If the court has authorized points, you must provide documentation from the court to Driving Logic before the DMV can credit them
Driving Logic reports your completion to the DMV automatically, but safe driving points will not be awarded if Driving Logic does not receive the required court documentation
What Documentation Do You Need to Provide?
Your court paperwork should indicate whether you are eligible for safe driving points. If points are authorized, bring or send the relevant court documentation to Driving Logic before you complete the course. Contact us at [email protected] with questions about what to provide.
What Happens If You Are Not Awarded Points?
Your completion is still reported to the DMV and your certificate is still issued. Your course requirement is satisfied. Only the safe driving point credit would not be applied.
Key Rule
Court-ordered students are not eligible for an insurance discount from the same court-required completion. That option is mutually exclusive with court attendance.
