Traffic Safety/Point Reduction
The Traffic Safety/Point Reduction program focuses on reducing traffic violations and accidents in Wisconsin. Students receive information about defensive driving, risks and consequences of aggressive driving, safety belts and airbags, Wisconsin traffic law and penalties, crash risk, and impaired driving. To modify high risk driving a Personal Change Plan is developed by the student. This course can only be taken once every three years to reduce up to three points. It may also be taken to satisfy the requirements of Failure to Yield the Right of Way violations. Point Reduction courses are voluntary and do not require the mandatory 72-hour check-in or a driver safety plan.
