Will the 2 points come back this year?
I had 4 points on my New Jersey record. I took the Newark defensive driving course in March. How fast will the 2 points be removed?
Hello Kareem, Good question. New Jersey allows a 2-point reduction every five years after completion of an approved defensive driving course. Here is how the timing works: - We electronically report your completion to the New Jersey MVC, usually within 24 hours - The MVC posts the 2-point reduction within 7-14 business days - Request a copy of your driving record after that window to confirm If the points have not been removed after 14 business days, reply with your New Jersey driver's license number and we will re-verify the submission.
