Frequently Asked Questions About Us
How did DefensiveDriving.com get started?
After a minor fender-bender in 1998, David C. Bruce received court approval to take a defensive driving course to dismiss the ticket. As an individual with a busy, unpredictable lifestyle, he searched for an online alternative to traditional classrooms and video rentals. To his surprise, there was no online course, so he set out to start his own.
Are DefensiveDriving.com's courses approved by the State of Texas?
DefensiveDriving.com's courses are approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the agency responsible for licensing defensive driving programs in the state of Texas. As State-approved courses, the Internet text course, online streaming video course, and DVD video course are all accepted by all courts in Texas for ticket dismissal.
Who is eligible to take a DefensiveDriving.com course?
All licensed drivers are eligible to take DefensiveDriving.com's courses. However, students wishing to take the course to dismiss a traffic ticket must receive approval from the court prior to taking this-or any-defensive driving course. Once the court grants approval to take a defensive driving course, then you can take a DefensiveDriving.com course.
How long does it take to complete a DefensiveDriving.com course?
The DefensiveDriving.com courses are six-hours long, and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How long it takes to complete the course is up to you: complete the course all at once in as
little as six hours, or in 5-10 minute increments, with up to 90 full calendar days to finish. This flexibility allows you to take defensive driving around your schedule, not the other way around!
