We’ve been helping Virginia drivers like you for over 20 years!

Started at school, finished in line at IKEA

I really appreciated not having to sit in a classroom seat for 8 hours! I was able to start the school from my desktop and pick it back up on my iPhone when I was standing in line at Ikea. Definitely a good use of my time waiting around.

@Chris R.

One of the best Defensive Driving courses

This is one of the best Defensive Driving courses you can take. Highly recommend this to anybody who needs the reduction in premiums or just wants to be a safer driver.

@River H.

Wow, simple and easy course

Wow I was afraid to do a video course online but after live chat with Jordan about the course details I felt safe to do it, what a great source of information it was simple and easy to do it on one time. Same day certificate is awesome, can't ask for anything better than that.

Virginia Online Defensive Driving FAQs

Is there an age requirement to take an online Virginia Driver Improvement Course?

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.

Is the IMPROV online traffic school licensed by the State of Virginia?

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.

If my due date is today, can I still take this online course?

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.

Do you send my certificate directly to the DMV?

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

What is required before I can start the course?

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.

    How do I benefit from taking this course?

    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.
  • How do I earn safe driving points?

    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.

    Can I use the Driver Improvement course to get an auto insurance discount?

    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.

    Can I get a point reduction if I was driving a commercial vehicle when I got the ticket?

    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.

    How fast can I get my Certificate of Completion?

    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!

    How often can I take this course for point and fine reduction?

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

    Do I have to take the online course in one sitting?

    Not at all, one of the great benefits to taking the basic driver improvement course online is you can learn the material in class at your convenience. You can log in and out of our Virginia Driver Improvement course as much as you want, and our system will always save your progress so that you can pick up where you left off.
