Idaho Defensive Driving Course (Traffic School)
This Idaho defensive driving course, offered through our partnership with I Drive Safely, meets the state-required 6 hours of instruction.

Who Is This Course For?
Idaho drivers who want a state-approved defensive driving course to reduce points on their driving record, meet a court or state requirement, or earn an insurance discount where permitted. A state-approved course can remove up to 3 points from your Idaho driving record.
Course Overview
Idaho offers a defensive driving course for a point reduction and an insurance discount. A state-approved course can remove up to 3 points from your Idaho driving record and may earn a safe-driver insurance discount. This online course, offered through I Drive Safely, meets the state-required 6 hours of instruction and is completed at your own pace on any device.
Completing a defensive driving course reduces points on your record; it does not erase the underlying violations, and the violations remain on your record. An insurance discount is not guaranteed — whether you receive a discount, and how much, depends on your insurer, so check with your insurer to confirm discount eligibility.
