Default Defensive Driving

Needless to say I need to take it. Anyone ever taken online courses or have any feedback which is good or bad?

I went to the local Movie Gallery and rented their DVD for ten bucks, you register and watch the video and answer the questions between segments. I did it over the phone, its easy.

I have done online, and rented the video from block buster
BlockBuster Video: It was way more than $10. They charged my $60, there was 6 videos, and you had to call a phone number, and answer the questions over the phone, its automated, and you press buttons. You MUST watch the videos, because there are questions that you wouldnt know unless you watched the video. For example. "In section 2, was the alcoholic beverage A) wine B) whiskey, or c) beer
It is going to take your time.

I went online for my next DD fun. There is a timer on each page that holds you there before you can click next. The online portion was very easy to sham through, i didnt read ****, and got a 100 on the final..
but it also takes your time. Probably 100 pages you must sit through.
There is no fast way

Go to the comedy course thats online. Ill get you a link, the questions are common sense and you dont have to watch it to pass, just let the vids play out then answer the easy questions.

And is MF cake. You can do it in small amounts over time. I would just press play on a short video that they had, mute my computer, and check out ls1tech. They ask you questions after some of the videos, but they're all common sense. I wont ever go to a class again.
