- B 25 points are removed
- C Nothing changes until three years pass

- B All points, once in a lifetime
- C 100 points, once in any three-year period
- D 50 points, once in any three-year period

A defensive driving course recommended by the division can remove 50 points, but only once during any three-year period. This course is different from the traffic school some courts offer.
