Completing BDI for points dismissal?
You may have been told that you need to complete BDI if you want to avoid points on your driving record. This is known as "Ticket Election," and it is not the same as a court order. Completions for ticket elections and court orders are reported differently, so it's important that you select the correct reason for attending at registration.†(Choose wisely, young grasshopper)
If you have any questions about whether you should register your reason for attending as "Ticket Election" or "BDI Court Ordered," please email our customer support staff at [email protected] or call 904-297-5964.
