Traffic Law & Substance Abuse Education Course Schools

NO PAPER CERTIFICATES ACCEPTED AT DRIVER LICENSE OFFICES
Convenient on-line reporting lets traffic schools automatically report course completions to DHSMV so the Driver License offices can view students who successfully complete Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE), Basic Driver Improvement (BDI, TCAC, Red Light), and Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI).

Reasons for Attending Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education

If you have never held a regular driver license in any state, country, or jurisdiction, you must complete a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course before applying for a temporary driving permit (restricted driver license) in the state of Florida. The driver education courses offered by some county school boards may substitute for this requirement. Please contact your local school board for further information.

If you are under 21 years old and receive a notice of suspension for driving with a BAL of .02 to .05, you must complete a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course in order to reinstate your driver license on a hardship basis.

 

Traffic schools are listed in your local telephone directory under "driving instruction"
or "traffic schools." Approved course providers are also listed below.

To locate an approved on-line traffic law and substance abuse education course, refer to your local telephone directory, or contact the course providers listed below.
