Advanced Driver Improvement Course Additional Details

ADVANCED DRIVER IMPROVEMENT (ADI)

Florida ADI Course Additional Information

Drivers with Florida driver license suspensions or revocations, or who have been classified as Habitual Traffic Offenders (HTO), are often ordered by the Florida DHSMV to attend an Advanced Driver Improvement course. The following is additional information regarding Florida driver license suspensions and revocations.

License Suspensions Based on Point Accumulation

In Florida, driver license suspensions resulting from accumulation of points for traffic violations are assessed according to the following schedule:

•12 points earned within 12 months results in a 30-day suspension
•18 points earned within 18 months results in a 3-month suspension
•24 ponts earned within 36 months results in a 12-month suspension

In Florida's point system, the following points are assigned to driving violations:

•Speeding — less than 15 MPH over the speed limit — 3 points
•Speeding — more than 15 MPH over the speed limit — 4 points
•Speeding — resulting in a crash — 6 points
•Moving violation (includes driving during restricted hours) — 3 points
•Moving violation resulting in a crash — 4 points
•Reckless driving — 4 points
•Improper lane change — 3 points

In computing the total points, the offense date is used. If your driver's license is suspended for accumulation of points, you may apply for a hardship license through the Administrative Reviews Office where you live. To reinstate for a hardship license or when time expires, you will need to take a required examination, submit Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI) school enrollment, a $35.00 reinstatement fee and any applicable license fees.
