FAQ's.

What's the difference between the courses and which should I take?

The 8-hour Driver Improvement Course is usually considered Part 1 of the 12-hour program, commonly referred to as RADEP. You would take this if completing RADEP, OR if you’re taking it for Court Ordered, DMV, Voluntary, or Insurance Purposes.

The 4-hour Reckless & Aggressive Course is usually considered Part 2 of the 12-hour program, RADEP. You would take this course after completing the Driver Improvement Course to complete the 12-hour Reckless & Aggressive Driver Education Program.

Both courses are 100% self paced! You can start, stop, and finish anytime that is convenient for you.

We take pride in our service, but we know times can get tight and price matters as much as quality. We can’t keep up with every competitor out there, nor would we want to deter preventative education from becoming more widely available, so we guarantee our price, our service, and our customer satisfaction.

Kinzey H. Online RADEP

"Hi Zach, I just completed your course and I must admit that I actually learned a few things. It's been a mere 50-years since I took drivers ed in high school. I see that a few things have changed out of necessity. I like the way this course was structured, and I expect that I'll be better for taking it. I'm on to the next one. Stay well, Ken B."

Ken B. Online Reckless & Aggressive Course

"Thanks so much Zach! I really appreciate your program! You continue to save lives every day. Have a great week!"

Andy F. Online Reckless Course

"Just wanted to let you know that your class helped me get my Reckless Speeding ticket reduced to a mere speeding infraction. I was so happy when I left the court room. The letters posted in your classroom with attorney suggestions solidified my choice and my attorney made getting my charge reduced look so easy!"

Carlos G Fairfax County, VA

"Thank you so much for all you have done. I count myself fortunate that I took your class. You are such a wonderful resource. Thank you, in particular, for recommending my attorney. I've drawn my first easy breath in many months."

A.L Fairfax County, VA

"After all the guilty cases were dealt with, the Judge gave the DA the opportunity to speak with me. After showing the DA all the documents I had obtained during and after my time in your Program, which I had copies of, she offered to reduce the charge to 74/55; this reduction made the charge a Speeding Ticket rather than a Reckless Misdemeanor. Thank you so much for your help."

Mike O. Fauquier County, VA

On another note...I have to be honest in that when I signed up, I was a bit skeptical and assumed I was going to be taking a course to fulfill a need. But...I was wrong. I learned so much from the course and I truly believe everyone who has had at least one citation, should take this course. Plus every new driver should take this course as it is so informative. My family already asked me "Dad, why are you driving normal" 🙂... It's a good feeling and I feel bad it took me all these years to take a course like this but better late than never. Thank you again...I learned so much.
