8 Hour DWLS/R Course - Driving While License is Suspended Class

The DWLS/R Course (Driving While License is Suspended or Revoked) is an 8 Hour Court Ordered class.  It is used by the court as part of the sentencing process to help a student work toward reinstatement of their License.  Students evaluate their personal and driving habits, review their driving record and determine what steps are required to have their driving privileges re-instated.

The State of Florida County Courts require you to attend this course in a Traditional Classroom as part of a sentencing judgment.  Typical reasons students are Court Ordered to take the 8 Hour DWLS course include:

• Received violation(s) for Driving on a Suspended License (DWLS)
• Received violation(s) for Driving on an Invalid Drivers License (NVDL)
