What Is the Florida 12-Hour ADI Course?
The 12-Hour Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI) course is a Florida DHSMV-approved driver education program required for drivers whose licenses have been suspended due to point accumulation. It is a mandatory prerequisite for license reinstatement and for petitioning a hardship (Business Purpose Only) license.
Florida's point-based suspension system results in thousands of license suspensions every year. Drivers often don't realize they're approaching the threshold until it's too late. The ADI is the state's prescribed path back — a structured program that equips drivers with the knowledge and skills to drive safely and avoid future suspensions.
The course is 12 hours of online content covering Florida traffic law, defensive driving, risk management, reinstatement procedures, and more — all completable at your own pace, from any device, with no scheduled class times.
