After more than 20 years working with Virginia Driver Improvement students, one of the most common mistakes is assuming that a traffic charge automatically tells you which class to take. It does not. An 8-hour Driver Improvement Clinic may be the correct requirement, or the paperwork may call for the complete 12-hour RADEP program. Match the course name and hours to the actual DMV notice, court order, attorney instruction, or other referring document.
