The Virginia DMV uses a point system to rate drivers. You receive demerit points for unsafe driving and safe driving points for good driving.
Demerit points are assigned when you are convicted of a traffic violation. The demerit points associated with a conviction remain valid for two years from the date you commit the offense. Different violations carry different point assignments, depending on the seriousness of the offense.
Drivers who are DMV directed or who have volunteered may receive 5 points upon completion. The maximum number of positive points you can have on your driving record is five. You may take the course for points every 24 months.
If the certificate is presented to DMV, it must be printed on 8.5" x 11" plain white bonded paper. DMV will not accept certificates printed on color or specially designed paper or paper with any form of an advertisement on the front or back of the certificate. DMV will not accept any certificates that have been altered in any way. When we email your certificate, we will also send the printing instructions.
Only if the DMV has requested that you give them the certificate. The driving school will electronically submit your completion to the DMV. Your completion of the online driver improvement clinic will be posted to your driving record within 24 hours of the completion date of the course.
