Choose the Correct Course

Is the 12-Hour Online RADEP Course Right for You?

This May Be the Right Course If:

  • You were instructed to complete the full 12-Hour Reckless & Aggressive Driver Education Program.
  • Your court, attorney, probation officer, or other referring authority permits online completion.
  • You have not already completed an acceptable 8-hour Driver Improvement course that can satisfy part of the requirement.
  • You want flexible online access rather than scheduled classroom sessions.
  • You want to complete the full 12-hour requirement through one online course registration.

Do Not Register Yet If:

  • You do not know whether online completion is accepted.
  • Your instructions specifically require classroom or in-person RADEP.
  • You already completed an acceptable 8-hour Driver Improvement course and may only need four additional hours.
  • You only need an ordinary 8-hour Virginia Driver Improvement Clinic.
  • You are taking this course only because you expect Virginia DMV +5 safe-driving points.

Complete Program

What Is Included in a 12-Hour RADEP Program?

The traditional Virginia RADEP structure can be understood as an 8-hour Driver Improvement component plus an additional four hours focused on reckless and aggressive driving behavior.

8 Hours Driver Improvement concepts, defensive driving, traffic safety and risk reduction
+
4 Hours Reckless & aggressive driving, attitudes, emotions and behavior

This page is for the standalone complete 12-hour online course.

A student may also encounter an accepted modular 8+4 pathway using separate course components. The standalone 12-hour online course and a separately completed 8-hour + 4-hour pathway are different course structures. Follow the structure accepted for your requirement.

Course Focus

What Will You Learn in the 12-Hour Online RADEP Course?

RADEP goes beyond simply reviewing traffic laws. The program addresses driving risk, behavior, attitudes, emotions, judgment, and the choices that can contribute to reckless or aggressive driving.

Defensive Driving

Risk recognition, collision prevention, safer following practices and more deliberate driving decisions.

2

Reckless Driving

Behaviors and decisions that create unnecessary risk for the driver, passengers and other road users.

3

Aggressive Driving

Escalation, impatience, hostile interaction and choices that can turn ordinary traffic situations into dangerous ones.

4

Stress & Anger

Recognizing emotional triggers and developing safer responses to frustration and pressure behind the wheel.

5

Judgment & Responsibility

Examining how personal choices, habits and attitudes influence driving outcomes.

6

Safer Future Choices

Practical strategies for reducing risk and making more responsible decisions after course completion.

Important Before You Pay

Court Acceptance, DMV Points & CDL Requirements

Online Acceptance

Online availability does not mean every court or referring authority must accept an online 12-hour RADEP course. Confirm the permitted format before registration.

No +5 DMV Safe-Driving Points

This standalone 12-hour online RADEP course does not award Virginia DMV +5 safe-driving points. Driver Improvement point treatment is a separate issue governed by the attendance reason and applicable DMV requirements.

CDL License Holders

This course will not meet Virginia DMV requirements for a commercial driver improvement clinic. CDL holders should verify the specific requirement issued to them before registering.

Common Questions

Virginia 12-Hour Online RADEP FAQ

What is the Virginia 12-hour RADEP course?

RADEP is the Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program. The complete program provides twelve hours of driver education, combining general Driver Improvement concepts with additional education focused on reckless and aggressive driving behavior.

Is this the complete 12-hour RADEP program?

Yes. This page is for the complete standalone 12-hour online RADEP course for students whose requirement permits online completion.

Is this also called a 12-hour driving class or 12-hour reckless driving class?

Those are common search phrases people use when looking for RADEP. Course requirements should still be determined from the exact instructions issued by your court, attorney or other referring authority.

Will my Virginia court accept an online RADEP course?

Acceptance can vary. Confirm that your court, attorney or other referring authority permits a complete online 12-hour RADEP course before registering.

Can I complete the course on my own schedule?

The online course provides flexible access and allows students to leave and return while progressing through the required material. Make sure you allow enough time to complete the program before any deadline you have been given.

Can I use a phone, tablet or computer?

The course is designed for internet-connected devices. Use a device and connection that allow you to comfortably complete the lessons, quizzes and required course material.

How do I receive my certificate?

After successful completion, your completion certificate is processed and sent to you by email. Follow the instructions issued to you for submitting proof of completion.

Does this course give me +5 Virginia DMV safe-driving points?

No. The standalone 12-hour online RADEP course does not award Virginia DMV +5 safe-driving points.

I already completed an 8-hour Driver Improvement course. Should I buy this course?

Not automatically. If your previous 8-hour completion is accepted toward your requirement, you may only need the additional 4-hour RADEP component. Verify that before paying for the complete 12-hour course.

Is 12-hour online RADEP the same as taking 8-hour online Driver Improvement plus 4-hour online RADEP separately?

They are different course structures. The course on this page is a standalone complete 12-hour online program. A separate 8-hour plus 4-hour pathway is modular. Follow whichever structure is accepted for your requirement.

What if I am still not sure which course I need?

Use the Virginia RADEP Course Decision Guide and compare the exact wording of your requirement. If the requirement itself remains unclear, verify it before registering.
