Indiana Defensive Driving Requirements
If you receive a traffic ticket or a notice of suspension from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), you will greatly benefit from taking a defensive driving course such as At Your Pace Online. In some cases, taking the course is required if you wish to keep your driving privileges. Our online defensive driving course is the perfect program for meeting state requirements! However, it can be difficult to find out if you are eligible for the program. And state requirements for Indiana defensive driving programs can be confusing.
If you need to complete a defensive driving course after receiving a traffic ticket, Indiana gives you three months after the issue date to complete your course. If you fail to complete the program before the deadline, your license will be suspended.
You can also take our Indiana defensive driving course to reinstate a suspended license and fulfill your defensive driving course requirements. We suggest that you complete the driver safety course within the three-month time frame to avoid a license suspension and the reinstatement fees the Indiana BMV may charge.
After your complete your defensive driving course, Indiana will either reinstate your license or confirm your license is not suspended, depending on your situation. We make this process easy for you by electronically submitting your certificate of completion to the Indiana BMV within one day, including on weekends.
If you receive a traffic citation, you can take the course once every three years to clear 4 points from your driving record (unless otherwise stated by the BMV).
