Florida 4 Hour Basic Driver Improvement Class - Classroom Defensive Driving Course

The classroom 4 hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI)course is provided in a relaxed seminar style format.  This allows you to have direct contact with a certified instructor and have a forum to discuss topics with other students.  The seminar style courses offers a highly social class with plenty of interaction among participants.

The class is divided into multiple sessions and topics.  Sessions are 50 minutes in length with a 10 minute break once an hour.  While there is no test required to complete the class, students are encouraged and expected to actively participate in the seminar discussions in order to receive their Completion Certificate.  Topics include:

• Major causes of traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities.
• Defensive Driving Techniques, common distractions and the 3 second rule.
• How to safely react to various situations, driving conditions and when the posted Speed Limit is to fast.
• Traffic Laws and Florida's Implied Consent Law.
• Effects of alcohol and drugs when mixed with driving.
• Legal and financial consequences of a DUI conviction.

We believe in educating our students.  Our Instructors keep your attention and will arm you with information about traffic law and other important factors to help you stop receiving traffic tickets and become a safer driver.  Sorry, if you are looking for boring videos, students will not get those here!  One thing is guaranteed, students leave our in person driver improvement course with a different perspective about the driving environment, plus positive thoughts and techniques to avoid additional traffic violations.

The total tuition for the Classroom 4 hour defensive driver course is $40.00.  The tuition includes the course, classroom materials, all State of Florida fees, certificate processing and your certificate.  Your original Completion Certificate (for the Court) and a copy is provided immediately at the end of the class.

Students need to pre-register using the Online Enrollment Page (sorry no phone registrations or walk-ins).  Once we receive your Enrollment Request, we verify your requirement, check appropriate DMV / Court Records and will send a "confirmation" email to you.  Students should register as early as possible to guarantee a space for the date of your choice.

The 4 Hour BDI Course Completion Certificates are printed and provided to students at the end of the class.  You will receive two copies before you leave class.

1. A Signed original with a unique Certificate Number.  This copy is for the Clerk of the Courts and needs to be delivered by you to satisfy a Court Order.  (If taken as an "Election" to avoid Points, your original is electronically sent to the Clerks Offices.)
2. A second copy is provided as a receipt for your records.  We suggest students file this as a backup copy with your other important documents.
