Florida Online 4-Hour Traffic School (BDI)
If you have received a ticket in any Florida county and you plan to attend traffic school to keep the points off your license, you can take this 4-hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course. You can also sign up for this course if you have been ordered by a judge or court to attend a 4-hour traffic school course, or if you have been ordered by the Florida DHSMV to attend a Traffic Collision Avoidance Course (TCAC).
Florida Online Learners Permit Course (START)
This 4-hour learner's permit course is required for all first time drivers before they can get their first Florida license (Class E learner permit). The START course fulfills the State's requirement for attendance of a Traffic Law Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) program, also sometimes known as a drug and alcohol course.
NOTE: After you finish your learner's permit course, you can sign up to take your driver license test (road rules and road signs) ONLINE! That's right, no waiting in line at the driver license office. For more information about the test, click on the FAQ at the top of this page.
Important Information about Your Florida Traffic Ticket
Your automobile insurance premium can go up hundreds of dollars for just one Florida ticket! Fortunately, if you receive a Florida traffic ticket, you can keep points off your license and keep your insurance from increasing by signing up for traffic school.
This is possible because Florida law states that if you elect to attend Florida traffic school for a moving violation and you did not cause a crash, your insurance company cannot raise your rate, cancel your policy, or refuse to renew it (§626.9541, Florida Statutes). Also, by signing up for Florida online traffic school, you will get to keep your safe driver status (if you had this before you got your ticket) and you will be entitled to an 18% reduction off your civil fine.
You can elect to attend Florida traffic school unless:
- You have already elected once before within the past calendar year;
- You have elected five times within the past 10 years;
- You hold a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)*;
- You received a Florida speeding ticket for driving more than 30 mph over the limit.
*CDL holders might be able to attend the BDI course for point dismissal if they get a court order.
Contact the Florida Clerk of the Court
If you decide to go to traffic school, you must notify the clerk of the court in the county where you received your ticket. Each county has its own system for traffic school election. Please check the rules with the county in which you received the citation BEFORE you pay your ticket!
Once you have completed the Florida online traffic school course, you will need to turn your completion certificate in to the court. Although we report student completions to the court in many cases, it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to make sure the court has received your completion certificate. If the court does not receive proof of course completion, your driver license may be suspended by DHSMV.
