I did it online a few years ago. The only problem is that you will be in front of the computer forever. It is real long and real boring. I would almost rather have gone and sat somewhere for 8hrs instead.

Done it at laff spot twice. It's sucked both times.

I'm taking defensive driving as we speak at www.defensivedriving.com It's nice because I can do it whenever I want, leave when I want, and come back to the same spot. Complete it at my convenience.

But damn it I just got a ticket last night!!!

i took it at a mexican food place on FM518 about 3 miles west of the gulf freeway. They served us lunch, too! It wasn't bad, the guy had some pretty good jokes, and we were done about 230 or so (after starting at 0900.

Whatever you do don't rent the video at blockbuster. I made that mistake a couple years ago.

i did getdefensive.com. super easy, cheapest, but painfully long. i would pay the $40 to do the comedy show if it had fit in my schedule. good part about the online is that you can do it on your schedule at yoru own pace.

Just make sure you take care of these kinds of things. If not you'll end up getting arrested in the 24 Hr. Fitness parking lot in front of a lot of people you know. Then you'll have to call your dad at work to come bail you out!

P.S. The new Friendswood jail is actually pretty nice for a jail.

www.getdefensive.com you can log in and out and take it over a little time. and if you wanna be on tech, then do it. I just took defensive driving last week and did nothing but surf on tech and chargerforums while I was waiting for time to expire on a certain page. I didn't read a damn thing or watch a single vid and I got a 100 on the test. www.getdefensive.com FTMFW!!

I've taken it twice. Just have a whole bunch of other **** open to keep you occupied and some good music or tv. Hit next all the way until the end of each lesson (answering the in between questions of course) when there is a video atleast listen to the first 10 or 15 seconds so you can answer the question that says "the video is about what?".

Default defensivedriving.com

http://defensivedriving.com/

Taken the online course twice. Do it on your own time while drinking and surfing the web. The course itself takes a while though ...

They have expedited delivery of the certificate too, for extra $$$ of course.
