What Is a 4-Hour BDI Course?
BDI stands for Basic Driver Improvement.
In Florida, a BDI course is commonly referred to as traffic school or a Traffic Collision Avoidance Course (TCAC).
The course is designed to teach drivers about:
- Safe driving practices
- Traffic laws
- Crash avoidance
- Driver awareness
- Responsible driving behavior
- The consequences of unsafe driving
- Sharing the road safely with other motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists
Florida law requires the state to approve and regulate driver improvement courses. Approved courses must address areas such as driver awareness, crash avoidance techniques, and safe driving behavior.

Why Take the 4-Hour BDI Course After a Traffic Ticket?
A traffic ticket can affect more than just your wallet.
Points on your driving record can contribute to future license consequences and may affect your insurance situation.
For an eligible citation, Florida's BDI election allows a driver to attend an approved basic driver improvement course instead of having points assessed. Florida law also provides an 18% reduction in the applicable civil penalty.
Protect Your Driving Record
Completing BDI for an eligible citation can help prevent points from being assessed.
Reduce Your Civil Penalty
Florida law provides an 18% reduction in the applicable civil penalty when the statutory BDI election applies.
Help Protect Your Insurance
Florida law provides specific protections related to eligible traffic infractions when adjudication is withheld and no points are assessed. However, insurance situations can vary, so you should always check with your insurance company about your individual policy.
Complete Your Court Requirement
If a Florida court orders you to complete a driver improvement course, an approved BDI course may satisfy the requirement when the course matches the court's order.
Is the 4-Hour BDI Course Right for You?
You may need or be eligible for a BDI course if you:
- Received a non-criminal moving traffic citation
- Want to elect traffic school instead of having points assessed
- Were ordered by a Florida court to complete driver improvement
- Were directed to complete a Traffic Collision Avoidance Course (TCAC)
- Were involved in certain qualifying crashes
- Received a traffic violation that requires a BDI course
- Hold a Florida driver's license and received an eligible traffic citation in another state
Florida's official Driver License Handbook identifies BDI/Traffic Collision Avoidance courses for several circumstances, including certain crashes and specified traffic convictions. It also explains that eligible drivers receiving certain non-criminal moving violations may elect BDI in lieu of points.
Important: Not Every Ticket Qualifies
Not every traffic citation is eligible for the voluntary BDI election.
Florida law specifically excludes certain violations and places restrictions on eligibility. For example, a driver generally cannot make the statutory BDI election if the driver holds a commercial driver's license or commercial learner's permit, and certain high-speed violations are excluded. The law also limits how frequently the election can be used.
If you are unsure whether your ticket qualifies, call us before registering.

Common Traffic Violations Associated With BDI

🚌 Passing a Stopped School Bus
Florida identifies certain school-bus violations as circumstances requiring a basic driver improvement course.

🏎 Racing

⚠️ Multiple Crashes

🚨 Speeding
Many speeding citations may be eligible for BDI, but eligibility depends on the specific violation and circumstances.
Important: A speeding violation involving more than 30 MPH over the posted speed limit is among the violations excluded from the statutory BDI election.

What Do I Need to Bring to BDI Class?
For an in-person class, we recommend bringing:
- Your valid driver's license
- Your traffic ticket or citation information
- Your citation number
- Any court paperwork related to your traffic-school requirement
If your court paperwork specifies a particular course or completion deadline, bring that information with you.
When Will I Receive My BDI Certificate?
After you successfully complete the course, a certificate of completion is issued according to the applicable course requirements.
For our in-person and live online classes, we process the completion information after you finish the course.
Florida law requires approved driver improvement course providers to issue certificates to students who successfully complete an approved course.
Does BDI Remove Points From My Driving Record?
BDI does not literally erase an existing point from your record.
For an eligible traffic citation, Florida law provides that when you properly elect an approved BDI course, adjudication is withheld and points may not be assessed for that citation.
Eligibility restrictions apply, so check your citation and court information before making the election.
Can BDI Reduce My Traffic Fine?
Yes, when the statutory BDI election applies.
Florida law provides an 18% reduction in the applicable civil penalty for eligible drivers who elect an approved BDI course.
The BDI course fee is separate from the traffic citation and court costs.
Can BDI Prevent My Insurance From Going Up?
For an eligible traffic infraction taken through the statutory BDI election, Florida law provides protections relating to insurance consequences when adjudication is withheld and points are not assessed.
However, insurance companies and individual policies can differ, and taking BDI does not guarantee a lower insurance premium.
If your goal is an insurance discount rather than ticket disposition, ask us about the appropriate driver improvement course for that purpose.
Florida law separately provides for certain insurance premium reductions for approved driver improvement courses, but that provision does not apply when the course is taken in lieu of a court appearance under the traffic-ticket election.
Can CDL Drivers Take the 4-Hour BDI Course?
CDL holders have different rules.
The statutory BDI election for an eligible traffic citation is not available to a person who holds a commercial driver's license or commercial learner's permit.
If you have a CDL, do not register for BDI until you confirm that the course is specifically required or permitted in your situation.
Call us at (561) 969-0150 if you need help understanding your course requirement.
How Often Can I Take BDI for a Traffic Ticket?
Florida law limits how often a driver can use the statutory BDI election.
Under current Florida law, a person generally cannot make the election if they have made an election during the preceding 12 months, and there is also a lifetime limit of 8 elections.
If you have taken traffic school recently, contact the clerk of court or us before registering.
Is the 4-Hour BDI Course Available for Tickets From Other Florida Counties?
