Some prosecutors, when offering a reduction to a driver under 25 years of age, will make the deal contingent on the driver taking the alive at 25 course. These courses are designed for younger drivers, take 4 hours to complete, are given in a classroom setting, and cost $60. Check out Alive at 25 Courses.
Currently, the classes are scheduled in Onondaga, Montgomery, and Rensselaer counties.
The courses associated with this program are the usual DMV approved "defensive driving classes." These classes are online, or in classroom, take a little over 5 hours, and cost about $30-40.
Once complete, New York drivers get 10% off on their insurance premiums and their point total is effectively reduced by 4. Note that the points do not go away, they are ignored for suspension purposes. Learn how it works and see a class list.
One speeding conviction may cause premiums to increase over $2,000 in three years. The Zebra.

David Bruffett got our traffic ticket dismissed, he was upfront and honest about the process, and he was prompt in returning my call - what more can you ask for? :)
Great experience, very efficient and timely. Got reduced to 0 points - they handled the entire process once receiving my documents. Highly recommend, especially if you live out of state.
After receiving a ticket upstate NY, I contacted Seth's firm based on the great reviews on this board and was really happy that I made this choice.highly recommend them, they are the best.
I was genuinely and very positively surprised at how much attention I got for such a modest fee. Every correspondence answered almost instantly. Perfectly clear advice and guidance and super efficient overall. I literally can not think of how this could have been handled any better. Great job!
