Fairfax County Driver Improvement Questions
Does this clinic satisfy a Fairfax County court order?
Yes. Traffic Safety Institute is licensed by the Virginia DMV (License #5347), and a Virginia court order for a driver improvement clinic can be completed at any DMV-licensed clinic unless the judge specifically required a classroom location. Your completion is reported electronically to the DMV within 24 hours, and your certificate of completion is available if the court asks for proof.
Where is the Fairfax County General District Court and when is it open?
The court is at 4110 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, open 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday. The clerk’s office can be reached at (703) 246-3764. Many Fairfax traffic infractions are prepayable without a court appearance; you can look your case up on Virginia’s Online Case Information System.
What is my deadline to finish the clinic?
If a judge assigned the clinic, the completion date is written in your court order. If the DMV required it, the date is on your DMV notice. Finish a few days early so any question about your record can be resolved before the deadline.
Do I need to send anything to the court when I finish?
We report your completion electronically to the Virginia DMV within 24 hours. Some judges also want a copy of your certificate filed with the clerk. Check your court order, and download your certificate from your account if you need it.
Can I take the online clinic if I hold a CDL?
No. Virginia does not allow commercial driver’s license holders to complete the driver improvement clinic online. If you hold a CDL, you need to attend an in-person clinic.
