You will only receive safe driving points for a court-ordered Virginia Driver Improvement Course if the court authorizes them and you provide the required documentation to Driving Logic.
If you are required by a court to complete the Virginia Driver Improvement Course, whether you receive safe driving points depends on the court’s decision. The process is different from voluntary or DMV-ordered completions, so it is important to understand the requirements.
How Court Authorization Works
The court decides if you are eligible for safe driving points when assigning the Virginia Driver Improvement Course. If the court authorizes points, you must provide court documentation to Driving Logic. Without this documentation, safe driving points will not be credited, even if you complete the course.
What Documentation You Need
Your court paperwork should clearly state whether you are eligible for safe driving points. If points are authorized, submit the documentation to Driving Logic before you finish the course. If you are unsure what to provide, contact Driving Logic for guidance.
How Reporting to the Virginia DMV Works
Driving Logic automatically reports your course completion to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (Virginia DMV). However, the DMV will not add safe driving points unless Driving Logic receives the required court documentation. For more details on point credit and reporting, visit the Virginia DMV’s driver improvement clinics page: the Virginia DMV.
Insurance Discount and Court-Ordered Courses
If you complete the Virginia Driver Improvement Course because of a court order, you are not eligible for an insurance discount from the same course completion. Court-ordered attendance and insurance discounts cannot be combined.
