In NJ, there are basically two ways to reduce the number of points on your driver’s license. The first is to avoid receiving any moving violations or suspensions for a one-year period. For every 12 month period you go without a moving violation or license suspension, the Motor Vehicle Commission will automatically deduct 3 points from your license. The second way to reduce points on your license is to complete a defensive driver or driver improvement program approved by the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission. Upon completion of one of these courses, you may be eligible to have up to 3 points deducted from your license. However, you should note that there are restrictions on the number of times that you can complete these courses for points reductions.
