Choose Your RADEP Pathway
Start from the wording on your court paperwork. If it says 12-hour RADEP, you need the full program. If you have already completed an accepted 8-hour clinic, you may only need the 4-hour supplement.

RADEP courses do not award DMV safe-driving points, and completing a course does not guarantee any particular court outcome. Virginia courts differ on whether they accept an online RADEP course — confirm with your court or attorney before you enroll.

RADEP stands for Reckless / Aggressive Driver Education Program. Virginia courts order it for drivers cited with reckless or aggressive driving offenses. It combines the standard 8-hour driver improvement clinic with a 4-hour component focused on the behaviors, attitudes and decisions behind reckless and aggressive driving — 12 hours in total. The 8-hour portion must be completed before the 4-hour segment.
