Alive at 25 and Driver Improvement Courses

by Seth Azria on 3/21/2020

Alive at 25® Courses 

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.  

New York Point Insurance Reduction Program 

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.

I was entirely satisfied with the representation I received from Azria and Bruffett. In May 2018, I received two tickets for failing to stop adequately at a stop sign (the officer said it was a "rolling stop") and failure to signal more than 100 ft. before a turn. I had never had a moving violation in 20+ years of driving, and I was now suddenly facing 5 points and the possibility of a hefty fine! Azria and Bruffett were able to get the charges reduced to a non-moving violation with no points and a minimal fine. Based on my experience, I would recommend them to someone who is concerned about avoiding points and black marks on their driving record.

Professional, quick to the point and reassuring. Strongly recommend him. Got my ticket reduced to zero points for a lot less than I was expecting.

Seth outlined what was going to happen, how long it was going to take, and it all worked just as he predicted. Couldn't be happier.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

I was stopped by a NY state trooper for speeding on my way back to Canada right before the border crossing on I-81 in Mar. 2020. (Please be mindful about the signs of reducing speed. I didn't slow down quick enough). It was the first time I was stopped by a cop and I had no idea what I should do about this ticket. I searched on Google and decided to contact Mr. Azria. He was very nice to talk to and clarified all the questions I had regarding the ticket. In the end I did the online traffic safety training by Jefferson County. Mr. Azria helped me organize my correspondence with the DA and the court all the way through. I was quite fortunate to find him to fight the ticket for me. He and his assistant was very professional and knowledgeable. My charge was reduced to "failed to signal" and 2 points deduction. I appreciate the advice and help from Mr. Azria.
