New York recently passed a law allowing drivers to take defensive driving online. This course gives you a MANDATORY insurance discount for 3 years. [http://www.buffalonews.com/145/story/675959.html](http://www.buffalonews.com/145/story/675959.html)

For some of you shmucks with $10k a year insurance, you could save a ton of money with this. This is one of the things I’d never sit through in a classroom, but since I can do it at work I’m totally down.  
Here’s one of the courses, enter coupon code **NYDD5OFF**  
for $5 off at registration. [http://www.newyorksafetycouncil.com/](http://www.newyorksafetycouncil.com/)

nice!

and before we go through this debate again, it doesn’t take points or violations away, it just allows you to get more before you lose your license.

I’m in after someone reviews one.

I haven’t had insurance for many years. My wife called yesterday to get a quote on adding me, even though I’ve told her 100 times, the car is insured, I don’t have to be and if she calls, they’ll add me. and of course, they instantly added me to her policy. oh well.
