Traffic School FAQ

BDI is a Florida-approved course covering safe driving practices, often taken to address a traffic citation, reduce points on your license, or qualify for an insurance discount.

Common reasons include electing to take the course in place of a citation penalty, a court order, accumulating points on your license, or wanting to qualify for an auto insurance discount. Your specific reason for attending determines what information you'll need to provide during enrollment.

If you were offered the option to attend traffic school in place of a citation penalty ("election"), completing this course by your deadline typically satisfies that requirement. If the court ordered you to attend, check your citation or court paperwork for your specific requirements.

Many insurers offer a discount for completing an approved BDI course, though this varies by insurance provider. Check with your insurer to confirm.

The Basic Driver Improvement course is a 4-hour course.

Florida limits how frequently points can be reduced through driver improvement courses. Check with FLHSMV or your course provider for the current limit that applies to your situation.

Depending on your reason for attending, your completion may be submitted electronically to FLHSMV and/or the court, or you may receive a certificate to submit yourself — check your course confirmation for details.

It depends on your reason for attending. If you're taking the course by election (in place of a citation penalty), you'll typically need your citation number. Other reasons may not require one — the enrollment form will show you what's needed based on what you select.
