FAQs

1. What is a Driver Improvement Clinic?

A Driver Improvement Clinic is a state-approved course designed to help drivers improve their knowledge of traffic laws, safe driving techniques, and responsible driving behaviors. Completing the clinic may also help reduce demerit points, satisfy court requirements, or qualify for insurance discounts.

2. Who is required to take a Driver Improvement Clinic?

You may be required to attend a clinic if:

  • You were referred by the court.

  • The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) directed you to complete one.

  • You want to earn safe driving points on your record.

  • You are voluntarily taking it for an insurance discount.

3. How long does the course take?

The clinic is typically 8 hours long and can be completed in one day (classroom setting) or online, depending on state regulations and your eligibility.

4. Can I take the course online?

Yes, many states allow approved online driver improvement courses. However, some court or DMV requirements may specify that you must attend in person. Always confirm before registering.

5. Will this remove points from my driving record?

  • Additional court penalties
    Be sure to complete the course by your assigned deadline.
