Getting pulled over and receiving a speeding ticket or other moving violation is never a fun experience, and the process can be a bit confusing. In most cases, one of your options is to take a defensive driving course (a.k.a. driving safety course).
This is the best option in our opinion since it keeps your driving record clean of points and minimizes the probability of surcharges due to multiple tickets. The first step in choosing this option is to first verify from the court that you are eligible to take a defensive driving course for your particular ticket. Once you have received the court’s approval, you will be required to pay a court fee and given a deadline (typically 90 days) to successfully complete the course and submit your completion certificate to the court. Some courts may also require that you order a copy of your driving record.
So what is the best and simplest way to take a defensive driving course?
Is Online Right for You?
Before online courses, your only option to complete a course was to spend your Saturday afternoon sitting in a classroom with a live instructor for 6 hours. You might have been lucky enough to find a school that offered the option of splitting the six hours over two weeknights, but that was the extent of the flexibility that could be offered.
We know you time is valuable, and trying to find one hour is tough, much less six. The beauty of our online course is that the course is available anytime (24 hours by 7 days a week) from any computer with internet access.
The course is self-paced so that you can log in and out as needed and the course automatically saves your progress and will pick up at the furthest unit and page you reached in the course.
Once you successfully complete the course, you will be sent a completion certificate via the delivery method chosen (US mail, 2 Business Day, Overnight, or Priority Overnight) to the address you provide during registration. You will then deliver the certificate to the court prior to their deadline.
