A Change'll Do You Good!

As your traffic safety education curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants (TSC) strives to keep current with all legislative updates pertaining to traffic school. While the latest revision does not affect the traffic safety education curriculum, it may directly impact your business. Therefore, we wanted to make you aware of the change.

As a provider of traffic safety education, you're well aware that citizens of the State of Florida are allowed to attend a DHSMV-approved Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course for the purpose of removing points from their driving record. Under previous law, drivers could attend no more than once per year, and no more than five times in their lifetime. A modification to Florida Statute 318.14(9) allows motorists the opportunity to attend a BDI course no more than five times in a ten-year period. (The once-per-year limitation still stands.)

In a perfect world, traffic school would be completely unnecessary. And, naturally, we always hope that our message of safe, defensive driving sticks with each and every one of our students. However, the fact is that people occasionally make mistakes and we will get some repeat business. This legislative update makes it easier for Floridians to attend traffic school and improve their driving techniques!
