Florida Traffic School Online: Everything You Need to Know
Florida driver improvement courses are approved by the FLHSMV and delivered online.

Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) — 4-Hour Florida Traffic School
The most common Florida traffic school. Under §318.14(9) an eligible driver may elect it up to eight times in their lifetime, with no election in the preceding 12 months, and elects through the applicable Clerk of Court. The 18% reduction applies to the eligible civil penalty; the course price and any clerk payment are separate. Authorized under Florida Statute §318.14(9).

8-Hour Court-Ordered Basic Driver Improvement
Used when a court order names Basic Driver Improvement and specifies 8 hours rather than 4. It is a distinct product from the 8-hour Aggressive Driver Improvement course, and only the course named on the order satisfies it.
8-hour court-ordered BDI detailsIDI · 8 Hours
Intermediate Driver Improvement (IDI) — 8-Hour Aggressive Driver Course
Used when a court order names Aggressive Driver Improvement or Intermediate Driver Improvement. §316.1923 defines aggressive careless driving as committing two or more specified moving violations at the same time or in sequence.
8-hour aggressive driver course detailsADI · 12 Hours
Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI) — 12-Hour Reinstatement Course
Used in point-suspension reinstatement and restricted-license processes. Proof of enrollment may help with a hardship or restricted-license step, but completion is separate and the deadline and other requirements still apply. Confirm your requirements with the FLHSMV.

8-Hour BDI vs. 8-Hour Aggressive Driver Improvement
These are the two courses drivers most often mix up, because both take 8 hours. They are different products. Read the course name on your order, not just the hours.
| 8-Hour BDI | 8-Hour Aggressive | |
|---|---|---|
| Course named on the order | Basic Driver Improvement | Aggressive Driver Improvement / Intermediate Driver Improvement (IDI) |
| Typical wording | “Basic Driver Improvement — 8 hours” | “Aggressive Driver Improvement” or “IDI course” |
| Focus | Traffic law, points, defensive driving, hazard recognition | Aggressive driving behaviors, escalation, road rage, time pressure |
| Length | 8 hours | 8 hours |
| Price | $44.99 | $49.99 |
| 8-hour court-ordered BDI | 8-hour aggressive driver course |
Wording you might see on a court order
- “Complete a Basic Driver Improvement course — 8 hours.”
- “Complete the 8-hour Aggressive Driver Improvement program.”
- “Complete an Intermediate Driver Improvement (IDI) course.”
Sample wording only — orders vary by county. If the course is not named clearly, confirm with the Clerk of Court before you enroll, because the wrong course will not satisfy the order.
