Defensive Driving Course VA

There is no age requirement so drivers of all ages are eligible to take the course once every 24 months to receive safe driving points. If you are taking the course for a ticket that you received, the court has the discretion to decide if and how often you will be allowed to take the course to reduce court fees or to reduce demerit points.

Yes! We are approved and accredited for statewide use in Virginia by the VA DMV and accepted by ALL Virginia Courts. Our engaging Virginia Driver Improvement course meets all traffic school requirements.

Take this course to reduce the points and fines from your driving record, avoid court appearances or insurance increases.

Yes you can! We report course completions electronically right away. As long as you complete by 11:59 p.m. on your due date, we will make sure you get proper credit with the VA DMV and a certificate for your submission to the court.

We will file your certificate electronically to the VA DMV the next business day after your Driver Improvement course is completed!

The DMV requires that Driver Improvement Clinics (that’s us) determine if the student (that’s you) has selected the correct course and whether the court is allowing them to receive safe driving points or not. In order to do this, we need to see:

• Proper identification (driver license or government-issued identification).
• The court document allowing or requiring attendance in a driver improvement clinic.

You can submit this information to us during the registration process. Your eligibility to complete the course should be verified the same day you submit your documents.

There are multiple reasons to take a Defensive Driving course in Virginia:

• Lower car insurance.
• Have a traffic ticket dismissed.
• Fulfill a court requirement for traffic ticket.
• Improve your driving.
• Earn points for safe driving.

For each calendar year that you do not receive any traffic violations you will be rewarded with safe driving points. You may also earn points for attending traffic school.

Each year driving points are awarded for the previous year and you can accumulate five safe driving points which can be used to offset other demerit points.

Most drivers will receive a discount on their auto insurance after completing a Defensive Driving course. Check with your carrier to see if they provide a discount.

Unfortunately, per Virginia state law, if you were driving commercial vehicle when you received the ticket, you will not be able to get it dismissed or receive a point reduction.

You can still sign up for our Driver Improvement course, but it will have no bearing on your commercial driving record or insurance points.

Instantly! Upon completion, so long as your information was entered correctly, we provide you with a copy of your certificate online so you can print it out any time. It’s as easy as view, print, done!

You can take the Virginia Driver Improvement course to reduce points and fines from a traffic ticket once every 12 months.
