Driver Training Solutions LLC provides Virginia drivers with classroom and online options for Virginia DMV Driver Improvement and the Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program, commonly known as RADEP.
Whether you need an 8-Hour Virginia Driver Improvement Course, the complete 12-Hour Virginia RADEP Program, or only the 4-Hour Supplemental RADEP component, our goal is to help you understand the difference and choose the course that matches your requirement.
Driver Training Solutions brings more than 20 years of Virginia driver-improvement and traffic-safety education experience, including American Automobile Association (AAA) Driver Improvement instruction and National Safety Council training-center experience.
Classroom instruction is available in Hampton Roads, with qualifying online course options available throughout Virginia.
An 8-Hour Virginia DMV Driver Improvement Clinic and the complete 12-Hour RADEP Program are not the same course. The 4-Hour Supplemental RADEP component also does not replace the full 12-hour program by itself.
This course is generally appropriate when your instructions specifically require a Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic or when you are attending voluntarily for an eligible purpose.
This program is generally appropriate when you have been instructed to complete the full Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program.
This course is intended for qualifying students who already completed an acceptable 8-Hour Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic and need only the additional RADEP component.
Virginia Driver Improvement Clinics provide traffic-safety and defensive-driving education designed to improve driver knowledge, reduce risky behavior, and encourage safer decisions behind the wheel.
The classroom course is appropriate for students who prefer direct instructor interaction or who have been instructed to complete an in-person program.
Students may attend for reasons including:
Course topics include defensive driving, hazard recognition, crash prevention, responsible decision-making, speed management, space management, and the consequences of unsafe driving behavior.
For drivers who prefer internet-based instruction, Driver Training Solutions LLC also offers access to an 8-Hour Virginia Online Driver Improvement Course.
Online instruction can be useful for students balancing work, school, family, transportation, or other responsibilities.
Virginia drivers may be eligible to complete Driver Improvement online. However, if you are attending because of a court matter, verify that the court will accept online completion before registering.
A qualifying Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic may affect safe-driving points depending on the reason for attendance, eligibility, previous clinic history, and applicable Virginia DMV or court restrictions.
Students should review Virginia DMV rules regarding point eligibility.
The regular Driver Improvement courses described on this page do not satisfy Virginia commercial driver improvement requirements for CDL holders who are required to complete a commercial driver clinic.
RADEP stands for the Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program. The complete Virginia RADEP program provides 12 hours of education addressing both general driver-improvement principles and the behaviors, attitudes, emotions, and decisions associated with reckless and aggressive driving.
RADEP may be recommended or required in matters involving reckless driving, aggressive driving, excessive speed, unsafe driving behavior, or other serious traffic-related circumstances.
A reckless-driving citation does not automatically determine which course you should take. Follow the instructions issued by your court, attorney, probation officer, or other referring authority.
The first component develops a foundation in safe and defensive driving. The additional four-hour component focuses more directly on behaviors such as impatience, frustration, anger, stress, speeding, following too closely, aggressive responses to other motorists, and unnecessary risk-taking.
Driver Training Solutions LLC offers multiple ways for qualifying students to complete RADEP education depending on the requirement they have been given.
Designed for drivers who need the complete Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program and prefer instructor-led classroom education or have been instructed to complete the program in person.
The complete 12-Hour Virginia Online RADEP Course is available for students whose court, attorney, probation officer, or other referring authority permits online completion.
The course addresses speed, emotions, stress, impatience, distraction, attitudes, risk perception, and interaction with other roadway users.
If you already completed an acceptable 8-Hour Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic but later learned that you also need RADEP, you may qualify to complete only the remaining four-hour component.
Driver Training Solutions LLC accepts qualifying 8-Hour Virginia Driver Improvement certificates from other schools for supplemental RADEP enrollment.
Your previous completion must be acceptable toward your requirement and the court or referring authority must permit the remaining component to be completed online.
Appropriate when you were specifically instructed to complete a Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic or are attending voluntarily for a qualifying purpose.
Appropriate when you have been instructed to complete the entire Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program and do not already have an acceptable eight-hour component.
Appropriate when you already completed an acceptable 8-Hour Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic and need only the additional RADEP component.
