What is the 4-hour Supplemental Reckless Aggressive Driver Education Program?
This 4-hour supplemental course is designed to be taken with the 8-hour Driver Improvement course to satisfy a RADEP requirement.
RADEP stands for Reckless Aggressive Driver Education Program. It is a 12-hour program that drivers may be ordered by a court to take if they are charged with a non-alcohol-related reckless or aggressive driving offense. If you have been ordered by a court to complete RADEP
and you have NOT taken the 8-hour Driver Improvement course recently, we recommend you complete the full 12-hour RADEP course. The supplemental 4-hour course is designed for those who have recently completed the 8-hour Driver Improvement course
and whose court has given them permission to count that toward their RADEP requirement. The 4-hour course by itself does not satisfy the RADEP requirement.
The supplemental RADEP course is 4 hours long and delves into driver psychology and behaviors, including how to safely handle anger and stress when you're behind the wheel. Course topics include the following:
- Aggressive driving behaviors – what they are, what causes them, their risk factors and legal consequences
- Road rage – what it is, what causes it, risk factors and legal consequences
- Driver psychology – understanding why we make risky choices and how to form healthy driving habits
- Strategies for safely handling anger, stress, and other difficult emotions on the road, including anger management techniques and conflict resolution
- Understanding that driving is a conscious choice you make in the moment, not just a habit.
Please Note: You should check with your court prior to registering to ensure they accept online courses to satisfy the RADEP requirement. Most courts do accept online courses, but there are a few courts who may require you to take an in-person course.
Please Note: If you have already taken the 8-hour Driver Improvement course, please check with your court to ensure they will count it towards the RADEP requirement. If you completed the 8-hour course with a different provider, please ensure your court will accept course certificates from two different providers and that they do not require both courses to be taken with the same provider.
How Does the 4-hour Supplemental RADEP Course Work?
Our course is quick and easy. Get everything done in three simple steps!
Step One: Register for the course.
Create an account with a username, password and email address. You'll fill out your contact information and then read about the course procedures. You'll make payment and then you're ready to get started.
Step Two: Complete your coursework.
The course consists of short lessons full of interactive exercises, videos and text that meets the 4-hour course requirement. You can complete the course at your own pace and come and go as you like. Every time you log back in, we take you to where you last left off.
At the end of each lesson is a 4-question, multiple-choice quiz. You must score 75% or higher to pass and proceed to the next lesson. You can retake the lesson quiz as many times as necessary to pass.
At the end of the course is a 10-question, multiple-choice final exam. You must answer at least 8 questions correctly to pass the final exam. Don't stress - most people pass on their first attempt, but if you need to retake the exam, you can! Retake the final exam until you pass at no extra charge.
Step Three: Get your Certificate of Completion.
Once you complete the coursework, including passing all lesson quizzes and the final exam, we will email you your Certificate of Completion. You must provide this to your court as proof that you have completed RADEP. Please note that if your court has directed you to complete a 12-hour Reckless Aggressive Driver Education Program (RADEP), that this 4-hour course certificate only meets part of this requirement and you must also provide your court with your 8-hour Virginia Driver Improvement certificate.
