"62yo and got my first Traffic Violation Ticker, ever. More upset , angry and distressed than I can convey. However, there is a great program that allows you to take this course, and have the ticket reconciled off of your driving and insurance history. It cost less than the ticket itself. Go figure. This course is wonderful, informative, easy to navigate and incredibly convenient. Nothing but good for you. The online format is flexible while being 100% accountable for reviewing your whole approach to the privilege of driving, and bringing some information to you that you will choose to otherwise live your life without, and that would be a shame. I learned a ton, finished it all easily. The tests are formatted so that you learn a few things, not so that you fail or cringe trying to pass. Sign up, you will be so glad you did.

"I took the online Defensive Driving Course and wow, it opened my eyes to so much. If I hadn't taken this course I would never have realized I was driving irresponsibly sometimes. I actually feel really good after completing it and look forward to being a better driver, and keeping everyone safe. In my opinion, this course should be mandatory for all student drivers to complete before they can get on the road. If you haven't gotten a citation or anything like that, I still recommend this highly among anyone who should practice better road safety."

"I got to say overall I had a very good experience, the transition was smooth and clear. There was no jumping over hoops or anything and they just went straight to the point. Would recommend this to others for sure"

"Traffic school is bad enough, but if I pay for audio and the audio is done I should be able to move on but no. It kept me sitting there with all the info covered for the length of time they deemed correct even though they were able to present all the material audibly quicker. Most educated people can read significantly faster than they speak. This implies if I had not chosen for the audio upgrade, I could have read all the material significantly faster than what they required me to stay on the page. I am not a speed reader; suspect my wife could read all the material on the section in about 50% of the time they make you wait on the presentation page. One of the “correct” answers on what to do in a school zone is when encountering a slower car you must pass it cautiously. Must is one of those words similar to always that test experts indicate is virtually never true but let’s look at other alternatives. U can not slowly follow behind the slow vehicle. I cannot stop and let the kids out of the car or into the car. I must pass cautiously. I had another answer that indicated which should I do and the text was incomplete so therefore it could not be a wrong answer. Shows poor proofreading (but admittedly this was most extreme instance). I see the response but 1) if your own audio finishes before the allotted time then that is a problem to just sit there. 2) requiring more time on a page than it requires to read it out aloud is absurd because most people can read faster than they can speak. If there is really the minimum time required then more content should be added but it would be better to lesson time allocated. It does not appear you looked at the question and answer I referred to. I do not care who it is reviewed by, it is incorrect. There are numerous things driver can do besides pass with caution. Clearly if you have to pass the slow vehicle, you do it with caution, but I would argue it is far safer to simply not pass the slow vehicle. Look at the question and the “correct” answer realizing must means you have to pass the slow vehicle. Why am I required to pass it? It is wrong regardless of who has reviewed it and I invite you to look at it and indicate any reason why I must pass the slow vehicle. If this is truly the material and time the state requires then they should review the entire program as this sucked. Content too detailed, too long required to sit on most content pages, and at least 2 questions with issue (one with poor answer and one with a display issue). Definitely earned the one star."

"The setup process was made easy with a phone call to create my account . I didn't have any issues with logging out the course and my work being saved. I hope I don't ever get mandated again to take a driving course but NTSI made it easy and painless ."
