What do you think? Well, if you answered with the letter D for both questions, then you are correct. Fobbs-DIC wants to assist their clients in separating good driving behaviors from aggressive driving behaviors. Our Mission is to aid people to become more knowledgeable about Virginia's road regulations. Once a person is conscious of what the motor vehicle laws require, then this knowledge can help the person to comply with the Virginia’s road guidelines. Realizing the purpose and benefits of the regulations allows each person to be a safer driver for themselves and for those around them, which reduces traffic fatalities. Thus, driving is a wonderful privilege for many citizens, yet it's important not to abuse such freedom. So, let Fobbs-DIC help you to refresh or improve your facts about the road.
You
may possibly earn safe driving points by completing a driver improvement class
or clinic.
Virginia’s
DMV uses a numeric point system to rate its drivers with good driving habits
and risky driving habits. A driver can obtain safe driving points
for good driving habits and demerit points for
unsafe driving. So, receiving safe driving points is always a great benefit for
each persons driver’s record. Why? One reason is it adds value to your driving
creditability because you have driven without any violations within the year.
Each year, safe driving points are awarded to a driver for holding a valid
Virginia driver’s license without any violations or suspensions. Also,
accumulating a total of 5 safe driving points can offset demerit points. DMV
provided this example to explain this point: For five years, Molly followed
all the safe driving rules and always obeyed the speed limit. She accumulated a
safe driving point each year, for a total of 5 points. One day Molly ran a red
light, and DMV assigned 4 demerit points to her driving record. However, since
she had previously earned 5 safe driving points, she ended up with 1 safe
driving point left on her record.
