Posted by New Yorkers who pay about $50 to drive down a cartoon road on their computers can save hundreds of dollars off their car insurance.
Under a program launched this month, New York joins 26 other states that offer on-line driving courses to cut insurance costs and erase points from drivers’ licenses.
The virtual driving courses can be a big help in a state with some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country. The cost of an insurance premium for New Yorkers varies based on a number of factors, including where the driver lives.
Drivers who have points on their license can drop up to four points when they successfully complete the course. In New York, a drivers’ license is suspended at 11 points.
