4 things?????????????? You know you can only take 1 per offense per year right?

In any event, I am using www.getdefensive.com right now and it is pretty easy... and only $25 (state mandated minimum charge). If you need your drivers record, I recommend that you get it yourself. The state only charges $10, but these online places like to charge you $25. Although they say they can get it faster than you could, so if time is of the essence it might be a good idea to use their method.

Thats why some courts call for the updated driving record... if you have taken DD for a ticket before, it will show up on your driving record. IF they happen to find out, you are so screwed for lying to the court.

I took it online from Defensivedriving.com

You have to spend a certain amount of time on each slide and it has to total 6 hours (5 hours plus 4 15 minute breaks), then you take a test. I read absolutely ZERO of the material but made a 75. I BARELY passed it, you get 3 chances, but I didn't want to actually go back and study. I copied all the info into word documents while I was waiting to go to the next slide, with the intention of searching for the information I needed during the test and finding it. The problem is that the test questions are timed, and you don't have enough time to look **** up.

I would just go sit through it at a golden corral or something. There's a comedy club here in Beaumont that does it that's supossed to be good. I wouldn't do it online again.

I am just the opposite, I will NEVER sit in one of those classes again. Online I can take a break when I want. I dont have to sit in a class and listen to some goob talk to me like I am an idiot, nor will I have to listen to some of the stupid questions that the idiots in the class ask. Online all the way for me!!!!!

I just finished mine i took it on defensivedriving.com its really easy the only thing is that you have to read to at least get a good idea what every chapter is about. The final test is only 20 questions over everything and most of it is common sence. It took me about 3 weeks to finish it because i kept doing 5 minutes at a time but if you sit there and commit to it you can finish it in one day.

I will never sit in a class again. I've taken a few classes (the worst was in lubbock, it sucked *****). That **** was horrible. Getting up for an 8am Defensive driving class with some *** trying to make gay car jokes. **** that. I take getdefensive.com. That **** is easy. I'd read nothing and just click next and browse fbody forums the whole time. That **** was CAKE.

call up the hyena comedy club and ask for their defensive driving course, i've taken it like 4 times. its still 6 hrs hours but a comedian basically sits there and puts on a show. Also, you can only take one every 6 months for the same offense, thats prolly howcome you can need it 4 times.
