20thStDad Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Woohoo, got me a ticket! It's been 5 years since I did the defensive driving thing so I can do it for this. Has anyone taken it from on-demand Time Warner? Would you suggest not doing that for any reason? I'm thinking that's the easiest option because I can drink while doing it, without shoes on.

westguy76 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 No I haven't done it that way. But I have done it online and I liked the ability to due it anywhere I was online and the fact that I could stop and start at will, and do it at my own pace.

You can do it piecemeal. You can finish a section while chowing down your microwave lunch at work and in lieu of some pre-bed reading. You have a certain amount of flexibility with On-Demand. My main hesitation with the Comcast program would be with the response/synching of the system, which can be a real frustration when viewing other On-Demand programs.

Have done a couple of the comedy defensive driving courses online and are much better than the video option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks, I may do the internet then. I doubt my wife wants to watch that on the tv anyway. So a red light does count against my driving record, right? Just making sure I need to take defensive driving. According to the materials I got with the ticket it's 2 points for a moving violation not involving an accident when violating state law, and 0 points when violating city ordinance such as HOV violation. I have to think red light is at least a state law. It's not the most comprehensive table, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think the latter, if that means I was just a bit too late getting through. Really it doesn't bother me much. I always get angry when pulled over for speeding, but now I just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Did the defensive driving online with these folks: https://www.wheelsinmotion.com/AboutTheCour...?View=StreamingWorked well, pretty easy. I played Tecmo Bowl and watched TV the whole time I was doing it, and still passed easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played Tecmo Bowl and watched TV the whole time I was doing it, and still passed easily.Reviving an old thread....I got a speeding ticket and I need to take defensive driving soon. I was going to try it online.Curious if anyone has any new input or recommendations for online defensive driving in the last two years since this thread was active.I checked out Wheels in Motion website mentioned above and they look fine to me.Also looked at DefensiveDriving.com.Anyone else I should consider? Any company better that any other?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 My wife just went the same route I did after getting busted. Since this thread, I got another ticket (and opened another thread on it somewhere) and successfully challenged it with a lawyer (I totally was not speeding). Had to pay the lawyer, but got the ticket throw out. Not everyone has the same results, mine was kind of odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
