Is the Florida BDI course really only 4 hours?
I heard the Florida BDI course for traffic tickets in Miami is only 4 hours. Is that the same length as your online course?
Hello Carlos, Yes — the Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course in Florida is set by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles at exactly 4 hours, and our online version matches that length. A few notes on how it works online: - You can complete it in one sitting or break it up across several days - The course is timed by chapter, so you cannot fast-forward through the content - The final exam is included in the 4 hours; passing is required to issue the certificate Once you pass, we electronically report your completion to the FLHSMV and the Miami-Dade Clerk of Court, typically within 24 hours.
