On line traffic school recommendations?

Anyone take an on line traffic school lately that was no hassle?

I need to do an online school to delete a ticket.

Did my last on line traffic school 5 years ago.
That class was a breeze just can't find it now.

Chip got me on 5 north 10 minutes from our destination Buttonwillow.
Towing the race car he wrote me for 60 in a 55.

I was saving that ticket for Targa California too.

Dang now you'll have to cruise at the back of the pack for the Targa with the rest of the legal eagles. Enjoying the sightseeing.

That 55 towing speed in Ca seems to create as many problems as it solves.
The closing speed with overtaking traffic is challenging.

Sorry for yor loss, of points.

tevake thanks!

The 5 is a 2 lane freeway 70mph posted for cars that are going closer to 80mph.
The Chip was on the side of the road and I had moved over into the second lane to give him room as is now the law...
Room to quickly merge on and nail me.

I asked for a warning, told him I was towing a race car to Rennsport for charity.
I paid Mt Ticket.com $200 but they could not get it thrown out.

After I do the school there will be no points on record for the ticket.
Then in 18 months I will be eligible again for traffic school.
Maybe in time to be eligible for traffic school before Targa 2017.

I had to do one last year here in Mich and it took about 3 hrs to do it. Lots of video situations you have to watch before answering. You can stop and resume later if needed.
Here, they give you the choice of various online classes and you can pick the cheapest one.

I recently did Easy to finish traffic school dot com.

Just picked it at random... Took about 5 hours to complete. (I'm a slow reader)

It was, indeed, easy. They also offered an option to receive an email when DMV processes it through the court.

I got a speeding ticket, 86 in 65. Hadn't had a ticket in 17 years, despite doing many questionable things in cars...

Good luck with completion.

check the DMV website to see their list of approved online traffic schools. Not all online schools are Ok. You've got to agree to their use terms, select traffic school list and go through the process to get the list.

Us Texans may talk crap about "liberal" California, but I would take a 3-5 hour online traffic course ANY day over the 6-8 hour course we have here, no fast reading allowed...

I will say that the one i took (some cartoon one with celebrity impersonators) actually had a section on over steering rear engine, rear drive cars, with a cartoon 911! So, they got that going for them...

The basic testing that I like, with no video.

60 multiple choice test questions taken in 10 small tests of 6 questions.

In a 6 question test it identifies a wrong answer,
and re asks the same 6 questions, same answers, same order, identical.
Same 6 questions to re-answer, till you get it right.
Did two chapters skimming new laws material.
3rd chapter went straight to test and aced it. (6 questions in 2 minutes time)
4th test only took 3 or 4 retrys in a few minutes, was 40% w school in an hour.

Group on rate was -$10 on a $20 school.
I picked it based on reviews, 8,000.
Found it on this link.
https://www.groupon.com/deals/bes-ttrafficschool-com-10
and found it here on the approved list for CA.
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/wasapp/olinq2/TVSsearch.do
fwiw here you must pay court fines + other fees First.
Before you complete traffic school, a pre dated school certificate is worthless.

Towing 55 max speed in Calif. can feel real slow.

You guys are lucky:in UK traffic school has to be attended, no online option, and its effect lasts 3 years. You are only eligible if the speed limit was exceeded by 10% or less; otherwise its court.
