ELIGIBILITY

The Commonwealth of Virginia has a system that rewards good drivers. Every full calendar year that a driver has no traffic violations, suspensions, revocations or convictions, he or she will be awarded one safe driving point. No person shall be permitted to accumulate more than five safe driving points. One safe driving point will eliminate one demerit point on your driving record.

Another way to remove demerit points or acquire safe driving points is to attend a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) certified driver improvement clinic. Five demerit points will be removed if you satisfactorily complete a driver improvement clinic (like this one), with the oldest points taken away first.

A driver will also be directed to attend a driver improvement clinic by the DMV Commissioner if he or she accumulates 12 demerit points based on convictions for traffic offenses committed within a 12 month period, or 18 points in a 24 month period.

You may take our course for any of these reasons.

You may take a driver improvement course once every two years. The two years is from completion date to the start of your next course.
