The copy of the driving record is for the court, so yes you still need it. Taking DD online is easy, but it's still ~6 hours long since each page has a minimum time. Unfortunately, you have to pay attention to some of it because they ask you stupid questions.

Yes pay attention and you still got to do the six hours. But, you can cheat on the final exam.

I've done it...twice

They FORCE you to stare at each page for a specific amount of time and you have to watch the videos and then answer STUPID questions about them. If you're thinking about paying someone to do it for you, make sure they have a ton of your personal info cuz from time to time, they'll ask you questions about your VIN, DL #, License Plate #, DOB, etc, etc. You're only allowed to miss a couple of them then you fail.

My favorite video is of the woman parking on railroad tracks while a train bears down on her. Her *** got SACKED!!!

I was hoping I could watch a few bangbro's videos while taking the course to help speed up the time. Guess I will actually have to watch it though.

i did getdefensive.com. very easy, but painfully long. each screen has a timer that is like a couple paragraphs and they make you wait a short time, like a minute and a half per page. that prevents you from just sitting back and watching, cuz you constantly have to click the 'next' button.

you can just copy and paste the text of the screens to a word doc. they do show some videos that you obviously cant do that on though.

best to do the online one if you cant make the times for the comedy/resturaunt ones and/or want to do it at your own pace over a few days.
