You are not totally in deep sh***. My college roommate, Mike, had to take this course after his FL drivers license was suspended. Usually you are court ordered to take a Florida Advanced Driver Improvement Course to re-instate your Florida Drivers License.

Your Florida Drivers License can be suspended or revoked for the following;
1. Too many points in 1 year to 3 year period
2. Traffic accident resulting in a death
3. The Florida DHSMV labeling you as a Habitual Offender.

There are a few Florida Online Traffic Schools that offer the Advanced Driver Improvement Course. Its the only way to get your florida operators license back. Mike said it was called a 12 Hour Course but, it took him close to 15 hours to complete. He said it was alot of information with frequent quizzes to take and some behavioral stuff that took some thinking. Mike's course was $100, which seems to be the average cost.

From what I saw the online traffic school course was set up the same as most of the others, text, animation, grahics and videos. It was easy to navigate through and the quizzes were spread throught the Advanced Driver Improvement Course. It seemed mostly intent on changing driving attitudes and driving behaviors.

Here is an outline of the 12 hour course;

Florida Advanced Driver Improvement Course

1. Traffic Laws
2. Highway Safety
3. Advantages of having a good driving record
4. Accepting responsibility for your behavior
5. Shows the causes of drivng poorly and the consequences
6. Estalishing self control

As you can see its alot of psychology and aimed at behavior modification. The Florida DHSMV basically wants you to change your thinking. Its aims are to reduce your traffic violations and change your bad driving habits. I got the impression that the FL DHSMV knows you have to drive in order to make a living, they just don't want you appearing on their radar all the time.

Mike got some good news after he registered for his Advanced Driver Improvement Course. It seems the Florida DHSMV will let you apply for a Florida Hardship License whith proof of enrollment in the ADI course. You have to pass the course with 80% correct score. You then can take your Certificate of Completion to get your Hardship License. A Florida Hardship License has some restrictions relating to driving offences that caused your Florida Drivers License to be suspended or revoked. You will still be classified as a Florida Habitual Offender until your driving record has been clean for a year.

Recommendation:  I have had really good experiences with I Drive Safely online Florida Traffic School. They have several customer service awards and I have found them top notch . For more information visit- I Drive Safely/ ADI Course
