Driver Improvement School

In Florida if you get a speeding ticket, you can take select the option to pay a reduced fine and take a 4 hour driver improvement school or course. Taking and completing the course in a specified period of time will help you by not getting points assessed to your driver's license. You are allowed to do this up to 5 times in Florida in your lifetime. If you have more points or a more serious infraction, you may have to take a longer course.

Most states use the point system to keep track of your driving record. For each incident or infraction of a motor vehicle law your driver's license is assessed points. For example, an average speeding ticket will cause 3 points to be added to your license. If you rack up a specified number of points on your license within a certain period such as within 6 months, withing 1 year, or within 18 months, you can have your driving privilege suspended.

Major infractions such as reckless driving or a DUI could cause you to automatically have your license suspended. Most states have laws that convicted felons loose their driving privilege. However, most people or average to safe drivers and only have to deal with an occasional parking ticket or speeding ticket.

If you have a speeding ticket or minor traffic infraction, see what the laws in your state say. Many police officers explain your options when you are getting the ticket and will let you know if you can take a driver improvement school to help reduce your speeding fine and avoid from points going on your license. If you take an online course, make sure that you are taking one that is certified or approved by your state. Keeping points of your license is important if you want to keep your auto insurance rates low.
