Every state is different. In NY you can only take a defensive driver course once every 3 years I think it is.
Also you said you were out of state check to see if your state records out of state tickets. NY doesn't record out of state unless you were in a construction zone or have a commercial drivers license. To give you an idea a few years ago I got a 71 in a 60 in Texas, no points recorded in NY and I had to plead guilty and pay $180 fine. I could have gone to fight it but it was #4 speed trap in the country at that time and I was in Louisiana working so wasn't gonna happen.
