Austin Defensive Driving

Austin Defensive Driving Course

If you haven’t been pulled over yourself, then you have definitely seen someone pulled over for a traffic citation.

It is never a fun experience, and the process can be confusing to know what you have to do and when to satisfy the court. That is why we are here to help make the process a bit simpler and explain why we think taking a Austin defensive driving course is the best approach.

Whenever you get a traffic ticket, the officer should provide you with some documentation or sometimes the information is on the ticket itself, which explains your options. For most violations you are eligible to take a defensive driving course to keep the ticket from going on your driving record.

This is the best option in our opinion since it keeps your driver record clean and minimizes the chances that you can be surcharged for point accumulation for multiple infractions. Once you have notified the court that you intend to take a defensive driving course for your ticket, you will be required to pay a court fee and given 90 days to successfully complete the course and submit the completion certificate to the court.

Some courts also require a copy of your driving record, but as long as your get the original copy of the certificate to the court on time, the citation will not go on your record.

Is Online Right for You?

Some years back before online courses were approved and popular as they are now, you would have to take a Saturday afternoon and spend it in a classroom with an instructor for 6 hours to complete a defensive driving course.

In today’s world, finding 1 hour is tough, much less 6. Now you have the option to take an online course like the one offered on this site. You can register and access the course anytime (24 hours by 7 days a week) from any computer with internet access.

The course is self-paced so that you can log in and out as needed and the course automatically saves your progress and it will pick up at the furthest point you reached in the course. This is extremely important if you have a busy schedule and need to take the course at odd hours or across multiple days, which is not possible in the classroom.

Once you complete all 6 hours of course material, you are given 3 attempts to pass the final exam with a score of 70%. Upon completion you will be mailed a completion certificate to a given address, so that you may sign and return it to the court before your deadline.
