SIDE NOTE: The DHSMV requires any operator cited for running a red light, failure to yield right of way to vehicle or pedestrian, failure to stop for a school bus - to complete a Department approved 4-hour basic driver improvement (BDI) course. All drivers, except CDL holders, and those convicted of criminal offenses listed under s. 322.0261(4) may elect to attend a BDI course in lieu of points; this election will also satisfy the school requirements of s. 322.0261(4). Therefore, if the driver is eligible and elects to attend school for one of the above non-criminal violations, the Department will withhold points and count that election as having satisfied the requirements of 322.0261(4).
