The web-based version of the PIRP course is called the Internet Point Insurance Reduction Program, or I-PIRP. New York State Approved I-PIRP courses are equivalent to the traditional classroom courses taught by an instructor, but there are some significant differences between the two. To begin with, the web courses are noteworthy for their convenience. No driving to a classroom is required for any reason (not even to take a final exam). This could be a huge factor for New Yorkers who want to take the course, but would prefer to avoid congested traffic, inclement weather, and high gas prices.

 Second, the Internet defensive driving courses must use advanced security features to prevent fraud. This is not a part of the classroom experience. The DMV has required that all I-PIRP sponsors use some form of biometric security measures OR require proctored testing at a physical location before their courses will be approved. All of the courses that have been approved to date use some form of biometrics, which can range from facial scanning to fingerprint scanning or other technologies. However, all of the courses that were initially approved use a form of biometrics known as keystroke analysis

   Perhaps the most noticeable difference between the live PIRP class and its online counterpart is that the former requires an instructor, while the latter does not. If students have a question about the material, they can call or e-mail the company offering the course, but they cannot raise their hand, ask a question, and get an immediate response. This is obviously a disadvantage for students who wish to have a more “hands-on” experience or quick access to a seasoned professional.

    On the other hand, the online defensive driving courses must meet strict content guidelines established by the DMV, so all students will receive the same instruction each time the course is delivered. DMV requires that certain topics be covered, such as New York traffic laws, how to deal with aggressive driving, and the consequences for drivers who choose to drink and drive.
