Traffic safety courses

(en español)

​The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the Wisconsin Technical College System​ administer traffic safety courses that enable drivers to reduce demerit points assessed against their driving privilege.

Courses

  • Traffic Safety School: This course reviews basic safe defensive driving concepts and may be attended by anyone. The entire Traffic Safety School course must be completed to satisfy the right-of-way course requirement.
  • Group Dynamics: This course is generally for drivers who have been convicted of their first offense for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). This course does not satisfy the right-of-way course requirement.
  • Multiple Offender Program: This course is generally for drivers who have been convicted of a second OWI charge. This course does not satisfy the right-of-way course requirement.

Convictions that require successful completion of a Traffic Safety course

  • Assessment agencies refer convicted drivers of an OWI who are ordered to take Group Dynamics or Multiple Offender Program to the providing school or agency in their area.
  • Drivers who take a traffic safety course may elect to have their demerit points reduced by three after successful completion of the course.
    • If you are already suspended for accumulating too many points, and your point total is 12, 13 or 14 points, your suspension may be released.
    • Drivers may only have their points reduced once every three years.
    • The student has 30 days from completion of the course to notify WisDOT of any change in his/her request for point reduction.
  • Classes are held during the day, evenings and weekends in most areas in an attempt to allow students to complete the classes in a timely manner.

Warning letters

eNotify subscribers who have accumulated between 6-11 demerit points within a 12-month period will receive a warning notification via email or text from the DMV. Sign up for eNotify​.
