Traffic School

Just paid for my speeding ticket and did traffic school today

Just wanted to share this Site: cheapeasyfast.com

Costs 26$ total including mailed. And took me 45 minutes from start to finish.

Easily the cheapest and quickest online school I know off. Oh and you also get unlimited attempts and get to look back at the answers.
Just wanted to share

Are there details of said infraction elsewhere on the forum? This online course knocked the points off your license?

That's not bad, I got reckless driving and had to take a level 2 defensive driving class. It was 9 hour long and 2 hours away from where I lived...

ouch that's harsh. i should've been in your boat, going 120+ in broad daylight on a toll road towards long beach, a cop clipped me for 90. i'd say it was because i was calm, truthful and respectful because i know he must've seen me doing atleast 100 which would've been reckless endangerment. went through cheap easy fast driving school and i think for me it was $27 and i paid a little extra for it to be sent directly to the court and for verification that they received it. all in all i think it was $39, very much worth it and lesson learned. save it for the track!

Same here wtf?!

I've actually taken the course twice >.<

Once when I was 16 had to take it in a class room.

Once again about 2 years ago online, and it definately took me about 4 hours.

We got screwed lol

Yeah on this website it's $16 to "study" online and then go take the test somewhere, but for an addition 10$ you can take the final right there online; which is what I did.

Michigan's online is almost four hours, says it has a timer too to prevent skipping ahead.

Funny thing is that taking it through Texas is $39 versus $59 through the approved MI vendors.

The stupidest part of this was the section about vehicle maintenance... somebody else knows what I'm talking about I'm sure.

What the hell 45mins? I paid 30 bucks for mine and had to sit through the course online for 6 hours.......... This was in houston, tx.

Although i picked a comedy traffic school, so it was mildly funny.

Seriously? That's the equivalent of asking if Google works, but I must admit that the US folks forget that this is an international forum.

In the US traffic class is used to remove a ticket from ones record or in some cases if you're exceeding the speed limit by a lot traffic class and court supervision is used to to keep the sentence down. (At least in my case it has)

In my state (IL) you can only take the class once a year to remove it off your record. And the class I had to attend was 4 hours long but worth it.
