What is the Florida BDI Course?
The Florida Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course, also known as Traffic School or Defensive Driving, is a 4-hour program approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). It's designed to help drivers improve their skills and avoid future citations.
 
You may be required or choose to take this course if you:

  • Received a ticket for a non-criminal moving violation (e.g., speeding, running a red light, or failing to stop for a school bus).

  • Were the at-fault driver in a crash that resulted in someone being transported to a hospital.

  • Had two crashes in a two-year period that resulted in property damage over $500.

  • Were cited for reckless driving or racing on the highway.

  • Are a minor who wants to avoid a conviction on your driving record.

 
Top Benefits of Taking Our BDI Course

  • Keep Points Off Your License.

  • Prevent Insurance Rate Hikes.

  • Court-Ordered Compliance.

  • Instant Certificate: Immediate certificate of completion, and our provider report your completion electronically to the state, often on the same day.


How Our Course Works (5 Simple Steps)

  1. Elect Traffic School: Before registering, you must notify the Clerk of Court in the county where you received your ticket that you are electing to attend traffic school. You typically have 30 days from the citation date to do this and pay your civil penalty.

  2. Register for our course in minutes on our secure website.

  3. Complete the Course: Work through the course material at your convenience. Your progress is saved automatically.

  4. Pass the Final Exam: The course includes an open-book, 40-question final exam. You need a score of 80% to pass, and you can retake it for free if needed.

  5. Get Your Certificate: Once you pass, our provider will process and send your completion information to the appropriate authorities, and you can download a copy for your records.
