Court ordered driving school in Palm Beach County: is this the right course?
If a judge ordered you to complete a driver improvement course, your court paperwork names the type. Our course is the 4-hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course. If your order says BDI, you can take it here; if it names a different course, such as the 12-hour ADI, this one will not satisfy it. Unsure which was ordered? Check with the Clerk before you start. Confirm your order with the Clerk.
What if I miss a deadline?
Contact the Clerk promptly to confirm your options. Missing a deadline can lead to extra costs, points or a license suspension, and starting a course does not extend it. Contact the Clerk.
