Hello Gordon, Under Florida Statute § 318.14(9) and federal motor vehicle safety regulations: - Drivers holding a Commercial Driver License (CDL) are legally barred from electing traffic school to avoid points, regardless of vehicle type - Non-commercial drivers in Pinellas County can elect the 4-hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course once every 12 months (up to 5 times in a lifetime) - For non-CDL drivers, completion ensures points are withheld and insurance rates cannot increase for the citation.

Hello Darren, Absolutely.

Hello Maria, Good question. Florida allows the Basic Driver Improvement course up to five times in a lifetime, and no more than once every 12 months. To know exactly where you stand: - Pull a copy of your Florida driving record (FLHSMV) — it lists every prior BDI completion with date - If you have only used it twice, you are well within the lifetime limit - Confirm the date of your last completion was more than 12 months before today Once eligibility is confirmed, you can enroll right away. We can hold the registration until you verify with the FLHSMV. Florida Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) Course Please let us know if you have any further questions!

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.
