A DMV-approved Motor Vehicle Crash Prevention Course can reduce your point total by up to how many points?
-
A.
Four Correct
-
B.
Two
-
C.
Six
-
D.
Eleven
The answer is "Four"
The course can reduce your point total by up to four points, but it doesn't erase the violations from your record and cannot be applied as a credit against future points or prevent a mandatory suspension. A driver landing on six in C has borrowed the value the same manual page assigns to 21-to-30-mph speeding and read it as the credit ceiling.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Two
This answer understates the reduction the manual attaches to the course, which is up to four points. It halves the figure, blending the DMV credit with the two-point cap some private insurance safe-driver programs advertise.
C. Six
This answer adds two beyond the manual's cap of four points for the course. It borrows the six-point value the same manual page assigns to 21-to-30-mph speeding and reads it as the credit ceiling.
D. Eleven
Eleven is the suspension threshold on the same manual page, not the reduction cap for the course. This answer swaps the eleven-point suspension trigger printed nearby for the credit ceiling and reads the course as a full reset back to zero.
