The Florida Basic Driver Improvement Course uses time-limited identity verification questions throughout the course to confirm your participation, as required by Florida law. These questions are separate from the final exam and must be answered correctly and on time.
When you take the Florida Basic Driver Improvement Course, you will see identity verification questions at different points in the course. These questions help confirm that you are the person completing the course and are a legal requirement for all providers.
What Are Identity Verification Questions?
Identity verification questions are short, timed questions that appear during the Florida Basic Driver Improvement Course. They ask about your personal information or details from the course content you just completed. You must answer each question within the time limit shown on the screen to continue.
Why Are These Questions Required?
Florida law requires all Basic Driver Improvement Course providers to verify student identity throughout the course, not just at the final exam. This rule helps ensure that the registered student is the one completing the course. For more information, see the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) official website.
What Happens If You Miss a Verification Question?
If you answer a verification question incorrectly or do not answer within the time limit, you will fail the course. Your course will close, you will not receive a completion certificate, and your fee will not be refunded. You must repurchase the course to start over.
Tips for Answering Verification Questions
- Stay focused and engaged with the course content, as questions are based on recent material.
- Do not leave the course unattended because the questions are timed.
- Complete the course yourself. Having another person answer for you is not allowed and will result in failure.
