North Dakota course FAQ

Can I keep the points from my ticket off my record?

Yes, if your citation carries 5 points or fewer. Tell the court when you post bond (pay your fine) that you're taking an approved defensive driving course in lieu of points, then complete the course within 30 days of posting bond. You still pay the fine. More on North Dakota point rules
