Can I change my mind after I elect to attend a basic driver improvement course?

If you elect to attend a basic driver improvement course, you must enroll and complete the course, with proof of completion being presented to the Clerk’s office, within 90 calendar days of your election. If you fail to meet any one of these requirements for any reason, an additional delinquency fee will be owed, your driver’s license will be suspended, a reinstatement fee to reinstate your privilege to drive will be required, and a conviction of the violation will be reported on your driver history record. If you contact the Clerk’s office before the 90 days and state that you no longer wish to attend the basic driver improvement course. You will be assessed either the 9 percent or 18 percent reduction of the base fine received at the time of payment. If you elected on a wireless communication citation, you will be assessed the $60 base fine plus the $18 processing fee to the case, per section 318.15 Florida Statute.  Upon receipt of the fees, the case will be closed and the points will be assessed to the license.
