FAQs
Q. Why should I take a driver improvement
course?
The successful completion of a driver improvement
clinic may be used to remove points from your official driving
record. Or, you may have been ordered to attend by the DMV or a
court of law. You might also attend to receive a discount on your
automobile insurance premium. Finally, you might simply want to
learn techniques that will make you a more responsible driver and
lower your chances of being involved in a collision.
Q. Who is eligible to take a driver
improvement clinic?
Anyone can attend a driver improvement
clinic. However, it is your responsibility to determine if your
court accepts this computer-based driver improvement course to
satisfy a court-required driver improvement course.
If you hold a commercial driver's license (CDL), you must attend a
course designed specifically for commercial drivers in order to
receive official credit. Finally, to use the course to lower your
insurance premium, you must be under the age of 55, and should
verify with your agent whether your insurance provider offers this
benefit.
Q. Does the course cost anything?
Unfortunately, there is a small cost for driver
improvement clinics. Tuition includes immediate access to the
website and covers the entire cost of the course, including the
final exam and completion processing. Virginia driver improvement
clinics are privately operated businesses; regardless of the
provider you choose, you will need to pay a similar fee. The
difference is that our course is low-cost, convenient, and fun!
We also have the friendliest customer service in the industry!
Q. How do I pay for the course?

internet at a copy center or cybercafé. All you need is any
computer or mobile device with internet access. You can even start
on one device and finish on another.
Q. Will I be tested on the material?
The DMV requires driver improvement clinic students
to pass a fifty (50)-question final exam, correctly answering at
least forty (40) questions (80%) in order to receive credit for the
course. But don't worry, it's not rocket science or quantum physics.
With over 99% of all of our students passing, you'll have nothing to
fear! There are even short quizzes at the end of each section of the
instructional material to help you to prepare for the final exam.
Q. How long will it take to process my
completion?

with an attached PDF of your official Certificate of Completion
(generated as part of the electronic reporting process). You may
order, for a small fee, an official printed copy of your Certificate
of Completion when you register for the course.If you are completing the course for a court order, it is your responsibility to turn in the Certificate of Completion to the court on or before your due date.
