How Long Do Auto Insurance Points in Georgia Stay On Record?
Reader’s Question:
How long do points remain on your driving Motor Vehicle Record in Roswell, Georgia? I got two speeding tickets for two points each, and a minor traffic violation for one point. Will my insurance provider in Roswell still see the offense after doing a point reduction class?

The A Department of Driver Services (DDS) states that you can take a point reduction defensive driving course once every five years. You cannot take the traffic school class online or on a computer. The DDS only permits classroom instruction for this driving school.
According to the DDS information sheet on the defensive driving course, you may not take the traffic school for auto point reduction or insurance reduction or for more than 1 violation. It also seems that the points are reduced but that the offense stays on your driving record. If this is the case, you insurance provider can indeed see the violations and thus rate you on them.
