This is the statewide American Safety Institute checkout. There is no separate Chautauqua County link or price on this site.

  • 10% of the base rate for 3 years
  • Up to 4 points on a suspension calculation
  • 6 hours online, finish within 30 days

Chautauqua County runs from Jamestown up to Dunkirk and Fredonia on Lake Erie, with the Chautauqua Institution adding summer traffic around the lake. I-86 and Route 60 are the roads that tie those trips together. Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie is a driving fact. It is not a larger point reduction.

How it works

  1. 1 Enroll at checkout The button opens American Safety Institute’s checkout. This site does not change that address.
  2. 2 Finish the 6-hour course DMV says the internet course includes 320 minutes of instruction and must be finished within 30 days.
  3. 3 Certificate, then your insurer The sponsor tells DMV. You give the paper certificate to your insurer. Points stay on your record.

Statewide rule, short version: a 10% reduction for three years in the base rate of your current automobile liability, no-fault, and collision premiums, if you are the principal operator. Up to 4 points come off DMV’s suspension math, not off the record. The full limits are on the 6-hour course page.

Roads that matter here

  • I-86. The Southern Tier Expressway crosses the county toward Pennsylvania and Cattaraugus County.
  • Route 60. It connects Jamestown to the Dunkirk and Fredonia area. Posted speeds are the limit, not a county custom.
  • Route 394. This road runs along Chautauqua Lake. Summer volume does not change the 30-day finish window for the internet course.

DMV office

The internet course does not require a trip to a DMV office. If you need an office for a permit, a license, or a driving record, search the NY DMV office finder for Chautauqua County. Hours and which transactions an office handles change, so use that live list instead of a copied address.

What stays the same

A Dunkirk commute along the lake and a Jamestown errand on Route 60 produce the same kind of New York conviction. The course cannot be saved up against a future ticket, and it applies only to points from violations in the 18 months before you finish.

If you are 18 or older and still need a first New York license, that is the 5-hour pre-licensing course, not this one.

I cross into Pennsylvania from Jamestown. Will this course fix a Pennsylvania license?
