The problem

Drivers ordered or incentivised to take a defensive driving course find dated video, forced timers, clumsy interfaces that lose progress, and a certificate process that requires posting a form.

They are annoyed and in a hurry, and simply want it finished correctly and accepted by the court.

    Drivers with a moving violation who want it kept off their record, with the highest volume in Texas, Florida, New York and California.

  • Drivers seeking an insurance discount

    Drivers taking a voluntary course for an insurance discount.

  • Fleets and employers

    Organisations enrolling drivers at volume.

Whether a course is open to you, and what it does, depends on your state and your court. Check the citation or ask the court before relying on this. The premium rise is your estimate.

Questions people actually ask

Is the course state-approved?
Yes. The course content is state-approved.
Can I take it on my phone?
Yes. It is a clean mobile experience that saves your progress properly.
Do I still have to meet the required course time?
Yes. The course meets the mandated time requirements, without feeling punitive.
Who files the certificate with the court?
The course does, where permitted. It generates the certificate, files it electronically with the court or licensing agency, notifies your insurance carrier, and gives you a confirmation you can show.
Is a course available for my ticket?
The free Ticket Options Checker tells you. Enter the state, county and violation to see whether a course is available, the exact deadline, the total cost including court fees, what happens to insurance either way, and what to do first.
How much does it cost?
29 to 45 dollars per course, depending on the state. Electronic court filing is included rather than sold as an upsell.
How quickly does support reply?
Support answers within the hour.
Do you offer fleet or employer pricing?
Yes. Fleet and employer pricing is available at volume.
Why should I trust the ticket cost calculator?
It is arithmetic on the fine, fees and premium you enter. Whether a course is open to you depends on your state and court, and the tool says so rather than guessing.
