Did you know that a driver's insurance
premium can increase by hundreds of dollars
for just one Florida traffic ticket? If you
received a Florida ticket, you can sign up
for our 4-hour online Basic Driver
Improvement course to receive the following
benefits:
Keep points off your license (no
points on driving record). This applies
to both Florida license holders and
drivers from out-of-state.
Keep your insurance costs from
increasing.* Florida law states that
your insurance company cannot increase
your rate, non-renew, or cancel your
policy if you attend Florida traffic
school for your Florida ticket. (This
does not apply if you were responsible
for a crash.)
Receive an 18% reduction of your
civil fine.
Keep your "safe driver" status.
This applies if you had a "safe driver"
notation on your license before you
received your Florida traffic ticket.
Reduce your risk of future
crashes or violations. Several research
studies have shown that drivers who
apply the knowledge they receive from
our Program for Driver Improvement
course reduce their risk of being
involved in future crashes or receiving
more traffic tickets.
NOTE: You cannot
elect to attend this course if you have
already elected for another traffic ticket
within the past calendar year, if you have
elected five times previously, or if you
hold a commercial driver's license (CDL).**

Other Reasons for Attending a Basic Driver
Improvement Course
In addition to point removal, you can also
attend this course for any of the following
reasons:
4-hour Court Ordered Traffic
School. The 4-hour Florida Basic Driver
Improvement course can be taken if you
have been ordered by a Florida court to
attend traffic school.
4-hour Judge Ordered Traffic
School. The 4-hour Florida Basic Driver
Improvement course can be taken if you
have been ordered by a Florida judge to
attend traffic school.
Traffic Collision Avoidance
Course (TCAC). The 4 hour Florida Basic
Driver Improvement course can be taken
if you have been ordered by the Florida
Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles (DHSMV) to attend a Traffic
Collision Avoidance Course (TCAC).* Most
drivers who fall into this category will
have received a letter from DHSMV
directing them to attend a TCAC course
because they have been involved in two
traffic crashes within a two-year
period, a crash involving at least $500
property damage, or a crash in which
injuries occurred. Failure to attend a
TCAC course can result in cancellation
of your Florida driver's license.
Insurance Discount. Florida law
allows a driver to voluntarily attend a
state-approved 4-hour Basic Driver
Improvement course in order to obtain a
discount of up to 10% off his or her
automobile insurance premium.** Our
course has been approved for this
purpose by the Florida Department of
Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
(DHSMV). Please check with your
automobile insurance provider to find
out if you can obtain an insurance
discount by taking our
research-proven-effective course (the
DTA Program for Driver Improvement).
NOTE: This is not the 6-hour mature
driver course that can be taken by
drivers 55 and older to obtain a
mandatory 10% insurance discount.
Fleet Training / Business and
Industry. Employers in increasing
numbers are directing their employees
who drive company vehicles to attend our
online driver improvement course. The
result is that these companies are able
to increase their profit margin by
reducing safety risks, property loss,
and down time. Select this option if
your employer, safety manager, or
supervisor has asked you to complete a
driver improvement course, or if you
would simply like to brush up on your
defensive driving skills.
The BDI course teaches participants to use DTA's
IPDE (Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute)
strategy to anticipate traffic hazards and deal
with them in ways that minimize risk for the
driver. Simulated traffic crash scenarios are
used to demonstrate how the IPDE strategy should
be used in situations such as a rear-end
collision, a side-impact collision, and a
passing maneuver collision. Other topics in the
BDI course include an overview of the highway
transportation system, the dangers of driving
after drinking alcohol, and how to respond
properly in emergency driving situations.
DTA's BDI course is the only
Florida Basic Driver Improvement course that
teaches students how to control their emotions
and attitudes through the understanding of the
concept of Attitude States. Using Dr. Eric
Berne's groundbreaking theory of Transactional
Analysis (TA), the BDI course teaches students
that each of us has three Attitude States --
Parent, Adult, and Child -- that constantly
influence our behavior. Learning how to identify
these Attitude States is the key to controlling
them, which can be critical during potentially
hazardous activities such as driving a motor
vehicle. Students learn that by remaining in the
Adult Attitude State, they can reduce their
chances of being involved in a crash or of
committing a traffic violation that could result
in a citation.
