North Dakota Defensive Driving Course (Traffic School)
This North Dakota defensive driving course, offered through our partnership with I Drive Safely, is a recommended defensive driving course for an insurance discount and court compliance. It is not a state-approved traffic school for this provider. The course can help you meet a court requirement where your court accepts the provider, dismiss an eligible ticket where accepted, earn an eligible auto-insurance discount where permitted, and strengthen your safe-driving skills — all at your own pace from home.
Who Is This Course For?
North Dakota drivers who want a recommended defensive driving course to meet a court requirement, dismiss an eligible ticket, or earn an insurance discount where permitted. This is not a state-approved traffic school for this provider. Court acceptance for a specific citation is not guaranteed — confirm with your court before enrolling.
Course Overview
North Dakota does have a state-approved point-reduction program, but the NDDOT's official list of approved online providers does not include this I Drive Safely course. This recommended online course is for an insurance discount and court compliance where accepted, and is completed at your own pace on any device.
For ticket dismissal or to satisfy a court requirement, you must obtain your court's approval and verify that I Drive Safely appears on your court's list of approved course providers before enrolling. Court acceptance for a specific citation is not guaranteed — confirm with your court before enrolling. 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.
North Dakota's state-approved point-reduction program is administered by the NDDOT through a separate, official list of approved online providers — and this I Drive Safely course is not on that list. Drivers seeking point reduction on their North Dakota driving record must use an NDDOT-approved provider from that official list; this course is not taken for point reduction and does not reduce points on your North Dakota record.
