How the Michigan Basic Driver Improvement Course Works

Complete your Michigan Basic Driver Improvement Course in just 3 easy steps.

1. Register.

Registration is fast and easy. Create a username and password, input your contact information, and read some information about the course. That's it! You're ready to get started.

2. Complete the Course.

Our course consists of short lessons that include videos, games, animations and other interactive multimedia. The course is only 4 hours long--the shortest time allowed by law! You can complete it all at once or over a period of time. We automatically take you to your last spot each time you log in.

There is a multiple-choice quiz after each lesson and a multiple-choice final exam at the end of the course. We allow unlimited retakes of the lesson quizzes and final exam--retake them if you need to until you pass!

3. Completion Processing.

Point Avoidance - When you complete the course, we will process your point avoidance completion to the Michigan Department of State for you. The Michigan Department of State will not add any points from the ticket to your driving record and will not show the ticket information to insurance companies. You do not need to provide any paperwork to your court or the Michigan Department of State.

Court Order - If you are taking the course to satisfy a court order you will receive a Certificate of Completion to give to your court.
