Online Traffic School in California?

[Gomboman]

Hello Californian's. I recently got a traffic ticket and paid extra for traffic school. The ticket and traffic school was over $300--what a rip off.

Anyway, I've never taken an online course before. Can anyone recommend a decent program for me? There are literally several hundred different companies to choose from. I believe the programs are specific for each state for some reason.

Thanks

I did the on-line school a few years ago...... From what I could tell they all looked pretty much the same.

The test is suposed to take 8 hours *GULP*............ The way it works, you read a paragraph, then answert a question, clicking one of 4 multipul choice answers..

Ok, so here's the deal. DON'T read the paragraph! Read the first 2 answers only. They will tell you what the paragraph was about. Remember, ONLY read the first 2 answers. If one of them sounds like the correct answer click it. If neither do, click any of the other two answers. If you get the answer wrong, click your back button and try another answer..

Try it! I got about 15% done with the test in about an hour.......... Then tried this method and finished in 20 minutes.................

Defensive driving is taught for a reason........ GET OUTA MY WAY!  

Seriously, does anyone learn anything, of value, in traffic school?

Thanks Doc. I'll try your method. I was thinking if it takes 8 hours on the computer I would rather go to regular class, eat pizza, and then take a nap....

My wife just did defensivedriving.com this weekend.  Took her the big part of two days to do it.  But, she is meticulous.  She just can't drive worth a crap.

I've never gotten a ticket in my life.  There's no need to be in a big hurry to get anywhere a few minutes faster, unless you have irritable bowels, which I don't, thankfully.

I remember when I took the on-line course I really read it and it took awhile. Then I took the test and figured out it tells you which you got wrong and gives you a couple oppurtunities to redo those questions and my first thought was it would have been easier to take the test and then just look up the questions I got wrong. Oh well, next time (and there will probably be a next time).

Typical government idiocy.  I had to take a self study boat safety and law review certification for my deputy reserve unit in order to patrol the local lakes.  The state DNR sent me a packet with a couple rule books, and a test.   The test was unsupervised.
The instructions on the test said not to peek at the book while I took the test.
I sent the test back and got my certification.  Don't even know if anyone at the state actually looked at my test booklet.

My woman had to do the online thing here in Ca. You can't just wizz through it now. They have timers on the pages that make you spend a certain minimum of time - so you might as well read the question.
In the end - it took 8 hours.
