In Florida, individuals holding a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) are generally not permitted to enroll in the Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course for the purpose of avoiding points on their license or for ticket dismissal related to violations committed in a commercial vehicle.
The rules are designed to ensure that commercial drivers adhere to stricter safety standards given the potential for greater consequences in commercial vehicle accidents. However, CDL holders might be eligible for the BDI course under specific circumstances or for violations that occurred while driving a personal vehicle, depending on the court's discretion.
