Virginia DMV Considerations
RADEP and DMV Safe-Driving Points
RADEP course completion and Virginia DMV safe-driving-point eligibility are not the same thing.
12-Hour Online RADEP
The single 12-hour online RADEP course offered through this course pathway is not for Virginia DMV safe-driving points.
4-Hour RADEP
The four-hour supplemental RADEP component does not independently provide DMV safe-driving points.
Voluntary Driver Improvement
A qualifying voluntary 8-hour Driver Improvement course may result in safe-driving points when current DMV eligibility rules are satisfied.
Court-Required Driver Improvement
When Driver Improvement is required by a court, appropriate court documentation is required for safe-driving points to be awarded.
Check the reason for your Driver Improvement attendance.
Virginia DMV treats voluntary, court-required,
DMV-required, insurance and commercial attendance differently.

Before Court
Consider Speaking With a Virginia Traffic Attorney
A reckless driving charge can involve consequences beyond an ordinary traffic ticket.
A Virginia traffic attorney familiar with the court handling your case may be able to explain whether completing Driver Improvement, the complete 12-hour RADEP program, the 4-hour supplemental RADEP course or another step may be appropriate before your hearing.
Course completion does not guarantee a court result.
Completing RADEP or Driver Improvement does not
guarantee dismissal, reduction or any particular outcome.
