So that whole, points carrying over from canada thing is going to hose me… I need to wipe off 4 points, like, yesterday.
Where is the most enjoyable place to go?
Also, if someone else wants to go with me, most of you know how rediculously awesomely fun i am to be around, so… if you want to do the same, let me know!
I think they only take 3 points off…
i thought it was only 2 points off…
no, it’s 4.
i have 10 points right now and another 4 on the way. EEP.

PS - reducing points via defensive driving school doesn’t help w/ the drivers’ assessment or w/ the “3 speeds in 18 mos” thing.

edit- newman beat me to it
BULLSHIT I have taken it, used it in court, it’s fullly accepted…
unless that changed from like 8 months ago?! WTF :shrug:
contact “vetter” on the barf…according to him, it is a 4 point reduction
it says right on the website?
anyway, I don’t think i am 3 speeds inside of 18 months… The canada one i just got was from last january!
Ouch 10 points… Back a few years ago I was racking up the speeding tix like it was my job. Actually walked into the Town of Ton court one day, 3 different tickets, all from the exact same spot on the same street but on 3 different days. Never managed to get up to 10 pts though, only about 6-8…
I went to one of these on GI a few weeks ago. It was more boring than what I had remembered, and the instructor had negative charisma… I actually died a little bit by sitting through the class. Not to mention that I could have just “taught” it myself, and it would have kept people from falling asleep.
I’ll take it November 18th on elmwood… i’m gonna sign up now… it’s 9-3pm… 6 hours…
yeah, i really fucked myself. I didn’t know about the points carrying over and pled guilty to a 6 point speeding ticket in canada… i’m actually quite disappointed in myself for not looking into this further back then.
I wonder when the closest date is… I’d really like to get this out of the way before then…
wow go NYS way to be ghey, I guess they did change it 
the closest was november 11th… but that’s next saturday…i cant take off this soon… soo im doing it the 18th.
I just finished the 6 hour insurance reduction class that takes 10% off insurance and up to 4 points. Cost was like $35
EDIT: Sence this one is sponserd by the state the info is directly sent to the DMV and up to 4 points will be taken off if the violations are withen 18 months of the date of the class. THis is what was told to us by the cop who taught the class.
jay how was that class in GI?
I’d sort of prefer one where you just sit there and veg out for six hours versus the teachers that take it seriously and ask you questions about crap you don’t care about.
i want one that i can make fun of people in. last one i went to, which was like the 4th or 5th time i took it, the teacher asked if anyone else had been to another country and some guy said hawaii…
