Remove Points from Your Virginia Driving Record
Take Virginia's DMV-approved 8-hour driver improvement course online to earn up to +5 safe driving points, reduce your insurance premiums, and protect your license — 100% online, on your schedule.
How the VA Point System Works — and How to Fix It
Virginia uses a demerit/safe-point system. The course is the fastest, most affordable way to add positive points back to your record.
Every moving violation in Virginia adds demerit points to your driving record — typically 3, 4, or 6 points depending on the offense. These points stay active for two years.
At 8+ demerit points the DMV sends a warning letter. At 12+ points within 12 months your license is suspended. Insurance companies also pull your record and raise your premiums.
Completing the DMV-approved 8-hour driver improvement course earns you +5 safe driving points, which directly offset your demerit points. You can take this course once every 24 months.
Safe points range from +1 to +5. Demerit points for violations range from -3 to -6. Your net score is the sum. Completing this course adds +5 safe points — the maximum allowed in a single course — and the DMV is notified automatically.
Who Should Take This Course
Whether you're reacting to a ticket or being proactive, this course works for you.
Got a speeding ticket or moving violation? Offset those demerit points before they trigger a DMV warning letter or suspension.
Insurance companies check your driving record. Completing this course can directly lower your premiums with many VA insurers.
Young drivers are often on thin ice with points. Proactively adding +5 safe points creates a meaningful buffer against future violations.
A judge or court has ordered you to complete an 8-hour driver improvement course. This VA DMV-approved course fully satisfies that requirement.
Approaching 8–12 demerit points? Don't wait for a suspension letter. Get ahead of it now by taking the course and reclaiming your safe-point balance.
You haven't had a violation — but you want a clean, strong record. Add +5 safe points voluntarily as a buffer and potentially qualify for insurance discounts.
