FAQs

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.

Anyone can attend a driver improvement clinic. However, to use the course to lower your insurance premium, you must be under the age of 55. You should also verify with your insurance agent that your provider offers this benefit. If you wish to receive official credit for completing an online clinic, you must be 20 years of age or older. It is your responsibility to determine if your court will accept this driver improvement clinic to satisfy a court-required driver improvement clinic. Finally, 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.

Unfortunately, there is a small cost for driver improvement clinics. Tuition includes immediate access to the website and covers the cost of the final exam.
