Portsmouth residents who must complete DMV-approved Driver Improvement or RADEP courses have local classroom options to satisfy court or DMV mandates. The Driver Improvement course (8 hours) addresses traffic law, defensive driving, hazard recognition, and safe driving strategies. Completion may provide safe driving points on your DMV record.

The RADEP program (12 hours) targets drivers with reckless or aggressive driving offenses and is mandatory when specified by a court or the DMV. The course focuses on behavioral awareness, legal accountability, and strategies to prevent future offenses. Partial attendance will not satisfy court requirements.



Classes are held at Portsmouth locations designed for accessibility and limited class size, ensuring instructor attention. Advance registration is required. Instructors are certified and experienced in Virginia driver safety education.

Our Portsmouth program ensures full compliance with court and DMV requirements, offering certificates upon completion. Drivers should verify the course type required (Driver Improvement vs RADEP) before registering.
