Built by IMPROV®, the driving school that pairs behavioral science with genuine entertainment, this course is trusted nationwide by DMVs, insurance companies, and courts. Over 5 million drivers have already taken an IMPROV® course, and it shows in the 200K+ verified reviews and 4.7 average rating on Shopper Approved. Not every line item on a receipt needs an explanation, but this one gets one anyway - because transparency is the whole point of how IMPROV® prices things.
What This Course Includes
Covers the DMV certificate processing required to make your point reduction or insurance discount official
Flat cost, applied consistently regardless of state or course
No hidden markup layered on top
Explained clearly, not buried in fine print
Support 7 days a week via live chat, phone, or text
This charge covers the DMV certificate processing required to make your point reduction or insurance discount official - the administrative work that happens after a course is finished, so that completion actually counts for something with the court, DMV, or insurance provider that required it.
How the SPIDER Method™ Works
At the center of every module is the SPIDER Method™, a behavior-based approach to defensive driving shaped by input from psychologists who study how drivers actually behave behind the wheel. You will learn to Scan, Predict, Identify, Decide, Execute, and Review each situation as it develops, so you leave with habits that stick, not just a certificate.
Built by Writers, Not a Compliance Department
The material is written by professional Hollywood writers who happen to specialize in comedy, not by a compliance department checking boxes. Expect short videos, interactive scenarios, and microlearning modules engineered to keep you engaged in small bursts, rather than one long lecture you find yourself scrolling past by the tenth minute.
Self-Paced: No Timers, No Final Exam
You will not find a countdown clock here, and there is no final exam standing between you and a finished course. Work through it in one sitting or spread it across a busy week - start on one device, finish on another, and your progress follows you every step of the way.
Plenty of driving schools bury a cost like this inside a confusing pricing structure or spring it on you at checkout with no explanation. IMPROV® would rather just tell you what it is and why it exists, upfront, so nothing about your total feels like a surprise.
Pricing is transparent from the start. No processing fees buried at checkout, no surprise charges for a certificate you already paid for. What you see during enrollment is what you pay, full stop.
If anything comes up along the way - a login issue, a question about your certificate, or general confusion about what to do next - real support is available seven days a week through live chat, phone, or text, from someone who can actually pull up your account.
Most required courses settle for checking a box. This one is built to leave you a genuinely sharper driver, and it gets there faster than you expected.
That is really the whole philosophy: charge fairly, explain clearly, and put the rest of the effort into the course itself.
How Much Will I Save?
As a New York resident, completing this course makes you eligible for a 10% discount on your auto insurance, good for 3 years.
Will I save more if members of my family take the course?
To maximize your savings, all family members who are a principal driver of a vehicle on the insurance policy can take the course. Each driver will receive a 10% discount on the base premium of their auto insurance policy. Please note that the discount can be applied to only one driver for each covered vehicle. To confirm the exact amount you will save, please contact your insurance agent.
How will it work?
It’s simple! Get started now with this free registration. Then complete the course (you’re guaranteed to pass). Once completed, we will mail your Certificate of Completion and report your successful completion to the NY DMV and provide you with a copy you can send to GEIC. Your guaranteed 10% auto insurance discount will apply retroactively to the date you finished your course.
How long is the course?
Our course meets the New York time requirement of 6 hours, but the total course time is 5 ½ hours, with 30 minutes allowed for breaks. The good news is that our course saves your progress as you go, which allows you to complete it at your own pace. You can log in and out as many times as you need without ever losing your progress.
Can I take this course for insurance reduction if I am NOT a GEICO customer?
Yes, most insurance companies will give you a discount on your auto premium for completing a Defensive Driving/Insurance Discount course. In some states, insurance discounts are mandatory for all insurance companies. If you are insured with another carrier, please register here.
