Upstate SC Defensive Driving and Point Reduction Choices

4-Hour Live Defensive Driving Course

This $95 course focuses on defensive-driving knowledge and safer decision-making. It may qualify some drivers for an automobile-insurance discount, but it does not provide the four-point reduction. Confirm eligibility with your insurer before registering.

8-Hour South Carolina 4 Point Reduction Course

This separate $95 course is designed for eligible South Carolina drivers seeking to reduce up to four points from their driving record. It includes eight hours of scheduled live instruction.

Upstate residents can attend either course through live virtual instruction without traveling to a physical classroom. The online format serves drivers in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Greer, Rock Hill and surrounding communities.
