DMV Safe-Driving Points +5

RADEP and DMV Points Are Not the Same Thing

The standalone 12-Hour Online RADEP course and standalone 4-Hour Supplemental RADEP course are not Virginia DMV Driver Improvement Clinics and do not themselves award DMV safe-driving points.

If the 8-Hour Driver Improvement component is completed for an attendance reason that qualifies under Virginia DMV rules, safe-driving-point eligibility is determined separately under those DMV rules and any applicable court restrictions.

Remember
Remember — DMV Points

Completing RADEP does not automatically qualify you for five DMV safe-driving points. Your attendance reason matters.

Review the official DMV attendance-reason rules before registering if safe-driving-point eligibility is important to you.

Important Notices

Important Requirement
Online Court Acceptance

Before registering for an online RADEP course, confirm that the court, attorney, or referring authority for your situation accepts online completion.

Important Requirement
CDL / Commercial Driver Notice

These regular Driver Improvement and RADEP courses do not satisfy a CDL-specific Driver Improvement Clinic requirement when Virginia DMV requires a separate commercial-driver clinic.

RADEP FAQs

Virginia RADEP Questions

What is Virginia RADEP?

RADEP stands for Reckless & Aggressive Driver Education Program. It is traffic-safety education used in connection with reckless or aggressive driving matters. Your individual requirement should come from your court, attorney, or other referring authority.

Does a reckless-driving charge automatically mean I must take RADEP?

No. A charge by itself does not determine the exact course requirement. Follow the instructions provided for your case and verify unclear requirements before registering.

What is the difference between 12-Hour RADEP and 4-Hour Supplemental RADEP?

The 12-hour program is the complete RADEP requirement. The 4-Hour Supplemental RADEP course is intended for qualifying students who already completed an acceptable 8-Hour Driver Improvement Clinic and need the additional RADEP component.

How does 12-Hour Classroom RADEP work?

Our classroom pathway uses an 8-Hour Driver Improvement Clinic as Part 1 and a 4-Hour RADEP course as Part 2. Two separate classroom registrations are required.

Can I take RADEP online?

A complete 12-Hour Online RADEP option and a 4-Hour Supplemental Online RADEP option are available. Confirm that online completion is accepted for your individual requirement before registering.

Does online RADEP give me five DMV safe-driving points?

No. Standalone online RADEP is not a Virginia DMV Driver Improvement Clinic and does not itself award DMV safe-driving points. DMV point eligibility applies separately to qualifying Driver Improvement Clinic attendance.

Does regular RADEP meet a CDL-specific Driver Improvement requirement?

No. If Virginia DMV requires a commercial-driver-specific clinic, you need the appropriate CDL Driver Improvement course.
