Is this Florida online traffic school state and court approved?
Yes! Our driving course is approved statewide by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and accepted by all Florida courts. Take this course to eliminate points from your record and avoid court appearances or insurance increases.
I got a traffic ticket while visiting a county in Florida. What do I do?
No need to panic. Contact the court within 30 days of the due date and elect traffic school (BDI). This may allow you to dismiss your ticket or moving violation. Court administrative fees may apply. Our FLHSMV-approved course eliminates points, prevents insurance hikes, and helps you avoid court. For insurance discounts, check with your insurer, as rates vary and typically last about three years.
Will taking this course keep points off my license?
Yes. For one eligible violation, completion keeps points off your record and helps prevent insurance increases.
Do I still have to pay my ticket fine if I take traffic school?
Yes. The course prevents points, but you must still pay your ticket and any court admin fees.
How often can I take Florida traffic school for ticket dismissal?
You can take traffic school once every 12 months and no more than five times in your lifetime under Florida law (F. S. 318.14).
How often can I take a traffic school program?
The 4-hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course can be taken once every 12 months, up to five times in your lifetime.
Can I take online traffic school if I am a commercial driver?
No. CDL holders are not eligible to attend traffic school for point dismissal in Florida. You may take the course, but it will not affect your commercial driving record or insurance points.
Can I take Florida traffic school after paying my ticket?
No. Once you pay the fine without electing traffic school, the violation is considered settled and you are no longer eligible to remove points.
What violations qualify for the Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course?
Most minor moving violations qualify, such as speeding or running a stop sign. Serious or criminal violations do not.
How do I know if my ticket is eligible?
The Clerk of Court will confirm eligibility when you elect traffic school. You may also contact the FLHSMV or your county court.
What happens if I do not complete the course in time?
Your eligibility to remove points may be revoked and the violation may appear on your record. Always finish before your deadline.
