Already Completed Driver Improvement?
You May Only Need the 4-Hour RADEP Portion
If you already completed an acceptable 8-hour Virginia Driver Improvement course, you may not need to repeat Part 1.
Driver Training Solutions can accept an 8-hour Driver Improvement certificate from another school for completion of the 4-hour RADEP portion when the arrangement is acceptable for the student's requirement.
Verify the arrangement first.
If your RADEP requirement is court-related,
confirm that your court or attorney accepts
your prior 8-hour certificate together with
the supplemental 4-hour RADEP course.
Virginia DMV Considerations
Driver Improvement and DMV Safe-Driving Points
The 8-hour Driver Improvement component and the 4-hour RADEP component should not be treated as identical for DMV point purposes.
Voluntary Driver Improvement
A qualifying voluntary 8-hour Driver Improvement course may result in Virginia DMV safe-driving points when current DMV eligibility requirements are satisfied.
Court-Related Attendance
When Driver Improvement is connected to a court requirement, the court documentation and applicable DMV rules determine how point eligibility is handled.
Consult Virginia DMV rules for point eligibility.
The reason for attending Driver Improvement matters,
and the court may determine point eligibility
in a court-directed case.
