Defensive Driving?? (school, live, costs)

[SATXUsername]

Any recommendations on taking defensive driving classes in SA,TX to remove a ticket? Is online harder? Comedy driving class boring? How hard is the test?

If you do the online class, don't leave it for the last minute. They have a timer on there and if you go through it too fast it says "Whoa, you sped through that last session!.. Now, let's go back through a little more slowly and make sure you got everything." It's really annoying, because damn right I'm speeding through it......I waited till the last day possible to do it! And 6 straight hours on the computer doing nothing but that was abysmal. I'd do it online again, but I would do it over a couple of days rather than in one sitting.

I've heard the comedy ones are good, too. But I've never experienced it myself.

Do the online comedy course. You can do it at your leisure, it is mildly entertaining, and you can spread it out over a few days to make it easier on yourself. Don't ask me how I know this...

I've done both online and the comedy class. If you just want it done in one day, take the comedy class. That's the Ticket isn't so bad, kinda cheesy. I almost fell asleep during one of the videos, but when the instructor spoke it wasn't too bad. The online was easier for me this last time, because I use to work on Saturdays and I couldn't do it all on one day. I spread it over 3 days, 2 hours a day, and I could do it at any time of the day or night and in my PJs!! That was the best part.

Isnt San Antoino on the point system? like if you get a ticket, you pay it. Then if you dont get another ticket within 90-180 days it wont go on your record? there's a city in this area that does this. I'm not so shure which.

getdefense.com (will DM you the like) 25 smackers, the person I know who used them took about a week to take the course they do have a number to call and heard they were very helpful figuring out how to use the site.

If you get a ticket, driving 'school' plus court costs keeps it off record. This can be done once every 12 months.

I've seen a video at Blockbuster.
Easier to task while watching, with the added benefit of pausing to stir the soup.

Just to ponit out you can stop and start the online comedy course as well...

Take an online course at Texas Defensive Driving Online Course it is super...super easy. You can finish it in like 20 minutes and then u just have to leave the page open while the timer runs down.

If someone is getting a ticket every 12 months they should have their license revoked and be forced to take the one year long live drivers Ed course. It's called "Sit up front and watch the bus driver".

I'm always reading these posts where people are griping about all the bad drivers but there is no downside to driving bad until you wreck your car or kill somebody. All you have to do is go to the comedy club or sit in your PJ's for a few hours a day on the computer and it practically all goes away.
