Virginia Reckless Aggressive Driver Education Program

RADEP Courses — Online & Classroom


What Is the Virginia RADEP Program?

The Virginia Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program (RADEP) is a 12-hour driver education program for drivers who may need additional training because of reckless driving, aggressive driving, excessive speed, or other serious traffic-related behavior.


The complete Virginia RADEP course combines two parts:

Part 1 — 8-Hour Virginia Driver Improvement Course

Part 2 — 4-Hour Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Course


Together, these two parts make up the complete 12-Hour Virginia RADEP Program. RADEP is more than a traditional traffic-safety class. The program helps drivers understand how speeding, anger, stress, distraction, impatience, aggressive behavior, risky driving habits, and poor decision-making can increase the chance of crashes, traffic violations, and dangerous situations on the road. Students learn how to recognize unsafe driving patterns, better manage emotions behind the wheel, reduce unnecessary risk, and make safer and more responsible driving decisions.


Virginia RADEP Course Options

Driver Training Solutions LLC offers several ways to complete RADEP depending on your individual requirement:


12-Hour Classroom RADEP Course

Complete the full Virginia RADEP program through in-person classroom instruction.


12-Hour Online RADEP Course

Complete the full 12-hour Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program online when online completion is accepted by your court, attorney, or referring authority.


4-Hour Supplemental Online RADEP Course

Designed for students who have already completed an acceptable 8-hour Driver Improvement Course and only need the additional 4-hour reckless and aggressive driving portion of RADEP. Students sometimes search for RADEP using terms such as 12-hour driving class, reckless driving class, aggressive driving course, 12-hour reckless driving course, or Virginia reckless and aggressive driver education program. These terms may refer to similar requirements, but students should always follow the specific instructions provided by their court, attorney, or referring authority.

A Virginia RADEP course may be appropriate for drivers who:

  • Have been ordered by a Virginia court to complete RADEP
  • Have been advised by an attorney to complete a 12-hour driving course
  • Have been charged with reckless or aggressive driving
  • Have a serious speeding or traffic-related case
