Does a defensive driving certificate expire?

I have a defensive driving certificate that I got to get a ticket dismissed. However, I want to use the certificate to lower my car insurance rates. When does a defensive driving certificate expire?

Getting a
ticket
dismissed through defensive driving is a smart move. While a defensive driving certificate expires, it’s usually good for three years.
This means that you can use an insurer-approved defensive driving certificate to get discounts of up to 20%! You can even couple this with other potential discounts, including:
  • Informatics discount
  • Safe driver discount
  • Accident-free discount
  • Responsible payer discount
  • Alumni discount
  • Good student discount
On top of these discounts, you may also want to shop around for an even cheaper car insurance policy with the
