MARTINSVILLE – Get ready to hit the road with confidence and style! The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is pleased to announce that Circuit RiderCourse, designed to make learning the rules of the road both fun and informative, is now available for Virginian riders.

The Circuit RiderCourse experience will help you protect the thousands of dollars you've already invested and prevent the expenses associated with even a minor crash.
