When people demonstrate they have the skills to drive safely during a driving test, they can earn their driver’s licenses. Sometimes, licenses can be suspended after car accidents or other traffic violations. Luckily, they can also be reinstated if the drivers meet certain requirements. Mike’s Driving School is a driving school offering a range of personal and commercial driving courses at our locations in Williamstown and Clayton, New Jersey. Here, we share more about license reinstatement and how our training might help you in the process.
For a driver’s license to need reinstatement, it needs to have been suspended in the first place. Licenses can be suspended for a variety of reasons, including:
Once a license is suspended, it isn’t automatically reinstated. Instead, you must complete a few steps to get your license reinstated, which often vary from state to state.
If you’ve been in an accident or had your license suspended for another reason, you need to follow a process to reinstate your license. The process in New Jersey generally follows:
Once the driver completes these steps, they will get a Notice of Restoration in the mail. However, if a license was suspended and has since expired, the driver will have to renew it in person at a licensing center. To learn more about license suspension, reinstatement, and renewal, read through the New Jersey Driver Manual.
For more than three decades, Mike’s Driving School has been instructing and training drivers for both personal and professional purposes. If you need your license reinstated, Mike’s Driving School’s training courses may be able to help. Sometimes, a condition of a person’s license reinstatement may involve taking a safe driving course. At Mike’s Driving School, two of the personal driving courses we offer at the Williamstown location may be helpful in license reinstatement. These include:
Mike’s Driving School offers a six-hour-long defensive driving course online that is approved by the MVC to deduct points from a person’s license. The course teaches drivers safety and awareness tips to avoid accidents and traffic violations, and, most importantly, keep yourself and others safe on the road.
Defensive driving courses are often a part of license reinstatement in different states, but in NJ they are optional. They are not required to reinstate your license, but they are beneficial for a variety of reasons. First, every completed course offers a two-point reduction on your driving record. Second, you will gain skills to drive safely and be aware of the road to prevent future accidents and traffic incidents. Third, you can also get a reduced insurance rate, depending on your carrier.
Mike’s Driving School also offers adult driving training, including courses for new drivers, refresher courses, and evaluation courses. For a person who had their license suspended due to an accident or traffic violation, they may be hesitant to get back out on the road. Our refresher courses are an ideal way for previously licensed drivers to renew their skills and regain their confidence when driving. Some license reinstatement requirements may require that the driver complete a driving safety course like the adult driving courses at Mike’s Driving School.
Mike’s Driving School also offers a teen driving course for young drivers just starting. Whatever course you choose at Mike’s Driving School, you can trust it will be led by an experienced instructor focused on developing responsible and knowledgeable drivers.
Whether you need a defensive driving class for point reduction or a refresher class to boost your confidence and get your license reinstated, Mike’s Driving School can help. With personal and commercial driving courses at our Williamstown and Clayton, NJ, locations, drivers of all skill levels can access training at Mike’s Driving School.
