How can you clear your driving record in Tennessee?

I live in Tennessee, and I’m paying out the nose for car insurance thanks to a cruddy driving record. How do I go about clearing points from my record, so I can get a better insurance rate?

Sarah Gray · Updated on Oct 26, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

One of the worst side effects of a poor driving record is increased

costs. Luckily, eligible drivers can clear their driving records in Tennessee by completing state-sanctioned driver improvement programs.

Anyone can take a driver improvement (aka defensive driving course), but for the course to count toward the removal of points from their record:

Drivers must have accumulated 12 or more points within a 12-month period

Drivers must not have completed a driver improvement course in the last 5 years

Whether you’re eligible to get points off your license with a defensive driving course or not, you can always find better-priced

by shopping on the
