Anyone did traffic school online?

Some questions:

1.Can you save and continue later?

2.Does it automatically send your certificate of completion to the court?

3.Overall impression compared to regular traffic school as far as time consumed and ease.


I've been to several regular traffic school and my impression has always been it's not bad. The instructor don't want to be there either so everyone just sort of doing their best to kill time. Combination of movies and fun discussion really killed the time. Down side is there's a schedule.

I have, so lets see...

1. You can save, but if your in the middle of a test you cannot exit.

2. Many sites mail the court directly, I believe.

3. I really liked online much more than being at a real school for several hours.

Im trying to remember since it was way back in November, but hopefully that helps some.

I did one for Florida for a ticket I got visiting there. The browser has a timer and you must spend that much time on the page. Of course what I did was skim the material quickly, cut and past the page to Word just in case I went retarded during the test of got too cute with my skimming, and then went and did other things or surfed other sites on a 2nd browser while the clock counted down.

I did the process over a few days, simple, painless. No problems after the fact and no points on my record so far, so I assume it worked (its been over a year).

I too did one: no timer.

In theory, You could copy the text into textpad, go to the quiz, and on the answers you don't know, do a keyword search. In theory, of course.

If someone did something like this, i'd imagine you could finish the whole course in an hour. Maybe 55 minutes.

They also let you retake quizes until you pass... and [i don't know if they do this if you fail but]- after the quiz and exam it tells you which ones you got wrong and the right answers. I never missed anything on quizzes, and missed 2 on the exam, so i don't know if they still giev you the right answers if you have to retake...

You could save in the middle (it asks you a varification question before each chapter), the completion cert went directly to the DMV (via fedex overnight for an extra $20).

I can send you the link if you PM me.

I hope that they adopt this in Illinois. I got a completely bogus ticket about 2 months ago. The cop himself admitted it, when he said "You went through that yellow light back there". Unfortuantely, I had had a couple of beers, and wasn't going to argue it into a an even more bogus charge like DUI. So, I'm taking my beating and going to traffic school (4 HOURS). This is my first ticket in 8 years, and I've driven nearly a quarter million miles since then, but I'm a bad driver and have to go to school. What a fisaco! Anyway, I'd love the option to take it online, because I could probably smoke through the test in less than half that time.

I just did one last week.

The test was 5 chapters with a quiz of 10 questions at the end of each. I printed out the chapters then went directly to each quiz. Total time was less then 1 hour. The only thing I had to do was print a final exam of 20 questions and take it in the presence of a notary, luckily, we have one in our office. I faxed over my test and got my cert.

Ahh, geez.  I was going to reply to this until I realized the guy I was going to quote was Seth Paxton and he hasn't been here in over a year.  Something's got to be done about all of these threads being bumped from nowhere.

Sometimes it's people who just don't read, but in this case it was a spammer. The spammer and the spam have been removed, but the thread's still sitting at the top. Why do you suppose that is?

Remember, there's a reporting system that allows you to report a thread or a post without adding to it. I just checked and there was no report on this one. (The spam was detected by various alarms.)
