How to Avoid Points with an Online Driver Improvement Course

There are two ways to be able to take a Missouri driver improvement course to keep points off your record after a ticket.

1. Fine Collection Center Approved – If the Fine Collection Center (FCC) in the county where you got your ticket has been authorized to approve of driver improvement courses then after you plead guilty and pay your fine you will be automatically approved to take a state approved Driver Improvement course to avoid points.
2. Court Approved – If the Fine Collection Center (FCC) in the county where you got your ticket is NOT authorized to approve driver improvement courses then you must first plead not guilty to the FCC and request to take a Driver Improvement Program with the Court to avoid point assessment.

Note: You are not eligible to take a DIP if you hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or if your violation occurred on a motorcycle. It is also important to note that you have 60 days from the date of conviction to complete the course. You are may take a DIP once every 36 months to avoid point assessment.

State Approved

Our online course is officially approved for statewide use by all counties in Missouri by the Missouri Safety Center. All state approved courses in Missouri are 8 hours in length. Even though our program is state approved every case and situation is unique so it is your responsibility to understand the rules in the county where you got your ticket and to verify with the Fine Collection Center handling your ticket whether you can take a Driver Improvement Program.

Getting an Auto Insurance Discount

Many auto insurance companies offer discounts for voluntarily taking a Missouri Driver improvement program. Some providers offer a 10% discount for 3 years, but the actual discount amount and participation varies by each provider so we highly encourage you to contact your agent or insurance company to check on their eligibility details.
