8.3. Basic Driver Improvement Courses

8.3.1 - Reasons for Attending Basic Driver Improvement

You must complete a basic driver improvement course (Traffic Collision Avoidance Course) if you want to retain your driver license in the following circumstance:

  • you were a driver in a crash and are found at fault and someone was transported to the hospital or
  • you had two crashes in a two-year period, which resulted in property damage greater than $50 or
  • you are convicted of running a red light
  • you were convicted passing a school bus when it displays a stopped signal
  • You were convicted of racing on highway

If you receive a ticket for a non-criminal moving violation, and you do not hold a commercial driver license, you may elect to attend a basic driver improvement course in lieu of points on your driving record.

In some cases, you may choose to attend a basic driver improvement course to receive insurance discounts. This discount is solely at the discretion of your insurance company.
