How long is the Defensive Driving course?
Most people can finish in about 4-6 hours. Some people take longer, but that is a rough guide for most students.
How many chances do I get to pass the final?
You may attempt to pass the quizzes and final exam as many times as you wish. But keep an eye on the court?s deadline.
What software do I need to take the course?
You need a working web browser that is connected to the Internet to take a defensive driving course. We support Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher, Netscape Navigator 6.0, AOL 4.0 and higher and most other browsers. There is no software to download and nothing saved to your hard drive. Some courses use the Macromedia Flash plug-in. This product is free and can be downloaded and installed at registration.
Do I need to attend a classroom?
No. The course is entirely online. It is web learning on your schedule at your pace.
If I fail, what happens?
In most locations you can retake the final exam if you fail. The specifics depend upon your state's regulator agency.
Can I get an insurance discount if I am a senior driver?
Our course provider says, Yes! It varies by state who is allowed to take a course for an insurance discount. (In some state only mature drivers age 55 and over are eligible to receive an insurance discount by completing a course.) We definitely offer the insurance discount option in all the states in which we are approved.
Why should I take a defensive driving course in Texas? Will it remove my speeding ticket?
The answer to the first question is: (1) it may keep your auto insurance rates from rising (if you qualify) and (2) you have the opportunity to learn about safe driving.
