Court-Ordered Driver Improvement
Did a Virginia Court Tell You to Take Driver Improvement?
Read your court paperwork carefully before choosing an online course.
A court may or may not accept online Driver Improvement completion. If your attendance is court-directed, confirm the acceptable course format before paying.
- Confirm that the requirement is Driver Improvement.

- Follow court certificate-submission instructions.
- Follow court instructions concerning point eligibility.
Court and DMV requirements can differ. Follow the instructions
that apply to your individual case.
Choose the Correct Program
Driver Improvement and RADEP Are Different Programs
Do not assume that every traffic or reckless-driving case requires the same educational course.
Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic
The course offered on this website is the regular Virginia 8-Hour Driver Improvement Clinic.
- Online course
- Online final exam
- Voluntary, DMV, court and insurance attendance reasons
- Possible safe-driving-point eligibility when requirements are met
RADEP
RADEP is Virginia's Reckless & Aggressive Driver Education Program.
If your paperwork specifically says RADEP, 12 hours or Supplemental RADEP, do not assume the regular 8-hour Driver Improvement course alone satisfies the requirement.
