Course Information


SOUTH CAROLINA POINT REDUCTION Completion of the National Safety Council s Defensive Driving 8 Hour Course can be used for up to a four point reduction on a driver s Motor Vehicle Record. This information only applies to individuals with a valid South Carolina Drivers License. If a South Carolina driver receives 12 or more points, the driver can avoid suspension by attending a defensive driving course to reduce 4 points. They will have 30 days from the date of the suspension notice until the date the suspension begins. Once the suspension begins, the point reduction will not cancel the suspension. Points may only be reduced once in a three year period. If the violation date is before the Defensive Driving Course completion date, credit of up to four points will be given. All violations occurring after the completion date of the course will not be accepted. If an individual has one, two, or three points assessed against his her Motor Vehicle Record and the individual requests point reduction, he she will be given however many points showing on their MVR at this time, and will not be eligible to receive point reduction again for three 3 years. NOTICE FOR OUT OF STATE PARTICIPANTS Individuals taking the DDC 8hr class for another state will be responsible for submitting any and all paperwork to that state. Neither the college nor the SC Chapter NSC office will handle any information pertaining to a defensive driving course being completed for another state other than South Carolina.
