1.    The director shall reduce the point total shown on any licensee’s driving record by one point for each three-month period during which points are not recorded against the licensee’s driving record for a moving violation or a violation listed in paragraphs 12 through 16 of subdivision a of subsection 3 of section 39-06.1-10. The three-month period must be calculated from the date of entry of the last points against that licensee’s driving record.

2.    The point total shown on a licensee’s driving record must, during any twelve-month period, be reduced by three points when the licensee mails or delivers a certificate to the director indicating successful completion of instruction in a driver training course    approved by the director. Successful completion of instruction must be certified to by the sponsoring agency or organization of the driver training course. The reduction in points under this subsection must be solely from a point total accumulated before completion of the necessary hours of driver training instruction, and may not exceed nine points during any three-year period commencing on the date of entry of the last points against the individual‘s driving record. If on the date the director receives the certificate of completion of the driver training course from the licensee, that licensee’s driving record contains twelve or more points or, as a minor, the licensee’s driving record contains six points or more, the point reduction under this subsection must be applied after serving the period of suspension or cancellation required by the number of points on the licensee’s record.
