BDI election is explained in §318.14(9), Florida Statutes. Per Florida law, CDL holders may not elect to attend traffic school for a Florida ticket, regardless of the type of vehicle they were driving when they were ticketed. However, Florida law permits a driver to contest his or her ticket in court, and judges will sometimes allow the ticketed driver to attend a BDI course for ticket dismissal. A CDL holder who has been given permission by a court to attend this course should select “Court Ordered” as the reason for attendance.
