Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this course for any ticket?
Florida law allows drivers to elect the 4-hour Basic Driver Improvement course once every 12 months, and a total of five times in a lifetime, for eligible moving violations.
What is a TCAC requirement?
TCAC stands for Traffic Collision Avoidance Course. If you received a specific letter from the FLHSMV requiring this, our 4-Hour BDI course perfectly satisfies that exact state mandate to keep your driving privileges intact.
Do I need to notify the court?
Yes. If you are electing to take this course to avoid points on a recent citation, you must first notify the Clerk of Court in the county where you received the ticket and pay the associated citation fines before your deadline.
Do I have to complete the 4 hours all at once?
No, you do not need to complete the course in one sitting. Our system automatically saves your progress as you go. You can log out and log back into your account from any device, allowing you to finish the modules at your own pace and on your own schedule.
Can I take this course voluntarily for an insurance discount?
Yes! Under Florida law, many auto insurance providers offer premium reductions for drivers who voluntarily complete a state-approved Basic Driver Improvement course. We recommend contacting your insurance agent to verify your eligibility and find out exactly how much you can save before enrolling.
How many points on my license before it gets suspended?
In Florida, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended if you accumulate too many points within a specific timeframe. The suspension tiers are:
12 points within 12 months: 30-day suspension
18 points within 18 months: 3-month suspension
24 points within 36 months: 1-year suspension
Completing this state-approved 4-Hour BDI course for an eligible traffic ticket prevents the points from being added to your license, keeping you safely away from these thresholds.
How long do points stay on a Florida driving record?
Points from a moving violation remain active on your Florida driving record for 36 months (3 years) from the date you received the ticket. During this entire 3-year period, your auto insurance provider can view these points and will likely raise your premium rates. Taking our course stops the points from being assessed, protecting both your record and your wallet.
What is a Hardship License and how do I get one?
A Hardship License is a restricted license issued by the State of Florida that allows a driver with a suspended license to drive for essential purposes only (such as driving to work, school, or medical appointments).
If your license is already suspended due to points, you must typically complete a 12-Hour Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI) course and apply through a hearing officer.
Please note: This 4-Hour BDI course does not qualify for a Hardship License; it is designed to help you avoid the suspension in the first place!
