How It Works!

Checkmark

Online Driver Improvement Clinic (DIC):

You may be taking this Driver Improvement Clinic for several reasons.

  • You may need to take it to satisfy a court order.
  • The DMV requires you to attend a clinic. If you fail to complete the clinic by the DMV deadline, your driving privilege will be suspended until you meet this requirement.
  • Your license has been revoked and you are required to complete the course as part of your reinstatement process.
  • You may also volunteer to take this course, if you have a Virginia driver's license, to receive up to 5 safe driving points on your driving record. It is important that you review the Virginia DMV points system information at https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/licenses-ids/improvement/points/system to understand if you are eligible. For instance if you've earned safe driving points within the past two years, you may not be eligible to earn safe driving points through ABC Driving Clinic until two years has elapsed since the last time you earned points.
  • Students who satisfactorily complete this 8-hour course can now also get insurance premium reductions. Individuals should contact their insurance companies to advise as to whether or not they offer this discount for their insures.

The cost of the course is null and we accept null.

Other Important Information:

  • To benefit from the course, you must be able to work independently and be comfortable with using a computer.
  • The online driver improvement course and final test must be completed through a DMV-licensed online driver improvement clinic. No paper test permitted.
  • The online driver improvement clinic course is an eight-hour course, including the final test, and is designed to rehabilitate problem drivers. The course must be completed in its entirety prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion.
  • Student identification will be verified through-out training and prior to taking the final test to ensure that the person taking the course is the same person taking the final test.
  • Customers directed by the Court must provide documentation from the court before safe driving points can be awarded.
  • The certificate of completion will be electronically transmitted (emailed) to all students within 2 business days from the date of successful completion of the course (including payment). You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on your computer to view/print your completion certificate. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is FREE and can be downloaded by going to https://get.adobe.com/reader/
  • The DMV standardized certificate, "Online Driver Improvement Clinic Certificate of Completion (DIC 552B)" is the only document that will be accepted by the Department and the Courts as proof of completion of an online driver improvement clinic.
  • Students completing the clinic as a court referral must complete the final exam the day before their court date to ensure you can submit your certificate to the court ahead of time or for your court appearance time the next day. While ABC Driving Clinic processes all certificates of clinic completion the same day, we may not be able to process before the time of your court appearance that same day. Please plan ahead and complete the final exam as early and as far ahead of your court date as possible.
  • You can complete the clinic within one year. Otherwise, your profile and progress will be archived until you communicate with the instructor about completing the course.

Any students having difficulties using the Internet or having problems that occur online may call us at null. Please leave a message including your name, phone number, date & time, and reason for your call. A school representative will return your call as soon as possible.
