Get 5 Virginia Safe Driving Points
Virginia uses a point system that includes both demerit points and safe driving points.
Traffic violations can add demerit points to your driving record. Safe driving points improve your overall point balance.
If you voluntarily complete a Virginia DMV-approved Driver Improvement Clinic, you can earn 5 safe driving points upon successful completion.
Can I Reduce Points on My Virginia Driving Record?
Completing a Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic doesn’t erase a traffic conviction or remove the original demerit points from your record.
Instead, eligible drivers receive 5 safe driving points, improving their overall Virginia driving point balance.
If you’ve been searching for a way to reduce the impact of demerit points on your Virginia license, completing an approved driver improvement course may help.
How Do I Get 5 Safe Driving Points in Virginia?

DriveSafe Online makes the process simple. Our Virginia driver improvement course is:
- Approved by the Virginia DMV

Can I Take a Virginia Driver Improvement Course Online?
Yes. DriveSafe Online is approved by the Virginia DMV to provide the 8-hour Driver Improvement Clinic online.
You can complete the course anywhere you have an internet connection. There are no scheduled classes, so you can start when you’re ready and complete the course on your schedule.
Does a Driver Improvement Clinic Remove Demerit Points?
No. Virginia demerit points aren’t erased simply because you complete a Driver Improvement Clinic.
Instead, completing an approved clinic can allow eligible drivers to earn 5 safe driving points. Those safe driving points improve your overall point balance.
That’s an important distinction if you’re looking for Virginia point reduction: the course helps by adding safe driving points rather than deleting the demerit points already associated with your violations.
What If the DMV or a Court Requires Driver Improvement?
You can also take DriveSafe Online to satisfy a Virginia DMV or court-ordered Driver Improvement Clinic requirement.
Your eligibility for safe driving points depends on why you’re taking the course. Drivers completing a court-ordered clinic should check their court documentation to determine whether safe driving points have been authorized.
