VOLUNTARY - If you need
to add points to your driving record. Keep in mind you can only have a MAXIMUM
of +5 points on your record. If you already have +5 you will not get more added
to your record. You can only get + points once every 2 years per the DMV (not
even 1 day sooner).
DMV Required - You were
sent a notice/letter in the mail to complete an 8 Hour Driver Improvement
Clinic by a certain date. Or if you have a suspended license and need to
re-instate your license you will need to take this 8-hour course.
Court Ordered - You
have gone to court and have been issued orders from the judge to complete the 8
Hour Driver Improvement clinic to either lessen your charge or to waive your
charge in full.
If you have gotten a ticket and are
taking this course PRE-COURT. This will allow you to take the course and show
the completion to the judge. This way if you are still given NEGATIVE points
towards your record, you have the option to take the course AGAIN as VOL (a few
weeks after court) and gain + points to better your record.
