Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I am eligible to take the Michigan Basic Driver Improvement Course (BDIC)?
The Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) will send you a formal notification letter by mail if you are eligible. Generally, eligibility requires holding a valid non-commercial driver’s license with two or fewer points currently on your driving record. The violation must not be a criminal offense and cannot have occurred in a commercial vehicle. Additionally, the ticket you received must be for three or fewer points.
What are the benefits of completing the Michigan BDIC?
Successfully passing the BDIC prevents the Michigan Department of State from adding the points from your ticket to your driving record. It also stops the ticket information from being reported to your auto insurance company, helping you avoid potential premium rate increases. Keep in mind that drivers are only allowed to avoid points once under this specific program.
How long do I have to complete the BDIC?
You must successfully complete the course within 60 days. This 60-day deadline begins from the date listed on the official notification letter you receive from the Secretary of State. If you do not pass the course by this deadline date, the points and the violation will be placed on your record and made available to your insurance provider.
How long is the course, and do I have to take it all at once?
The state-approved course requires a minimum of four hours of instruction. However, by taking the basic driver improvement course online, you can pace yourself and complete the material on your own time. Our online system saves your progress each time you log out, meaning you do not have to complete the four hours in a single sitting.
