How long does the online defensive driving course take?

Only 10 easy chapters, 24 minutes each - It's a state law, and every school has to ensure that you comply with a minimum time requirement.

Am I eligible to attend a defensive driving school?

Yes, if...

  • You have not completed a defensive driving course to dismiss a violation in the prior 24 months of the date of this citation.
  • You were not involved in a crash that resulted in death or serious physical injury.
  • You were not cited while driving with a commercial license.
  • Your violation is on this list of eligible violations, you can take traffic school to dismiss it.
  • You are NOT a holder of a commercial driver license or if you are attending for a violation which occurred while driving a commercial vehicle which requires a commercial driver license.

What is the difference between the Voluntary and Court Ordered course?

The course itself is exactly the same. The only difference is who is responsible for collecting required court/state fees. We are required to collect both state and court fees on the Voluntary course. When the course is Court ordered, Court fees are collected in the Court and we only collect $65 state fees. Court diversion fees vary from one Court to the other. You can find a chart of total fees for each Court here.

To get proper credit for ticket dismissal it is important that you select the appropriate option for your situation. If correct fees are not collected, you will not get proper course credit and your ticket will not be dismissed. If you are not sure which option is right for you, call and we will help you select the appropriate course.

How does the court know I finished the course?

We notify the court electronically that you passed the course.

How do I enroll?

We are required to have a copy of your citation, a legible copy of your driver license and the signed registration agreement.

  • Complete the online registration Sign Up Now!
  • Enter payment information (your credit card WILL NOT be charged until we confirm your eligibility and you are ready to start). Payment must be complete before you begin the course.
  • Submit court required paperwork (a copy of your citation, copy of your driver license and the signed eligibility form). More details will be provided once you complete online registration
  • We confirm your eligibility FREE of charge and notify you that you are ready to proceed. SAME DAY PROCESSING SERVICE AVAILABLE if you are running against a deadline.
  • Proceed to the Course
  • Once you complete the course, we issue you an instant certificate and notify the court.

NOTE: ALL ARIZONA APPROVED SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO COLLECT ADDITIONAL STATE/COURT FEES. THESE FEES ARE REQUIRED BY THE STATE AND DO NOT VARY FROM SCHOOL TO SCHOOL. FEES ARE SET BY STATE/COURT. EXACT FEES WILL BE DISPLAYED ONCE YOU SELECT THE COURT THAT ISSUED YOUR CITATION.

How do I submit my documents?

  • Scan your documents and send us an email with the images attached.
  • Fax the front of the citation and an enlarged, lightened copy of your driver license.
  • Mail copies to our office - make sure you have enough time for the mail to arrive!

No Fax or Scanner - No problem! Take a good picture with your phone and text it to us. See instructions on the Eligibility form.

Suggestions for successful submissions:

  • If you choose email a digital photo of a document, make sure that you can see all of the edges of the paper in the picture.
  • Faxes are often hard to read because the officer's writing is too faint. It's okay to use a pencil and darken in all of the writing.

The officer wrote my information wrong. Should I correct it?

No. Leave the information the way they wrote it, but let us know. We'll call the court and find out what they want us to do.

My due date is approaching - What should I do?

State rules require you to complete the course 7 days before the due date marked on your court paperwork. This allows courts to properly process your completion and dismiss your case.

If you are up against your deadline, make sure to pick one of the Priority Eligibility Options during the registration.

Some courts may grant due date extensions if you can't comply with the ordered completion time frame. You will need to contact the court that issued your citation in order to obtain a continuance.

Course is available 24 hours a day - 7-days a week.

I loved the convenience of doing the defensive driving course online and as a visual learner I liked being able to read the material as opposed to listening to an instructor.
James L. Chandler, Arizona



I liked everything very much. Did a very nice job covering the essentials defensive driving techniques, highlighting the main points, throwing in some breaks, and jokes. Really did make this enjoyable and entertaining. Would recommend to anyone. Most definitely beats sitting in the old 6hr classroom, swearing at the clock and ripping my hair out. Much obliged.
Kevin, L., Bisbee, Az.



This internet defensive driving course should be advertised more, it is very interesting, informative, educational and should be a course given to every Arizona driver.

It was great, had never attended traffic school before and i didn't know what to expect. I learned new and interesting facts and feel i will drive safer.
Dylan D., Glendale, AZ



I think this was a very effective way of taking the Arizona Defensive Driving course. I probably would have fallen asleep in an all day class. This let me take it in small pieces where I could really pay attention.
Kathryn G., Gilbert, AZ



This school was very informative and seriously made it painless! Thank you for making my mistake into a wonderful learning experience and refresher on the rules of the road!
John M., San Manuel, AZ



I appreciated your Improv approach to the course. It made it a pleasant experience.
Dana R., Gilbert, AZ



I really learned a lot. It was fun and convenient. I was able to complete the defensive driving school course without having to find babysitting for my small children.
Alyson S., Mesa, AZ



This was the best online course I could have chosen, other classes required you to leave your home to take your test. Being able to take the test home was the most selling part of the course. Great course, very informative.
Lorraine S., Tucson, AZ



Improv Traffic School was a GREAT alternative to sitting in the class on a sunny Saturday morning. The comic strips and jokes made learning fun and allowed me to really relate to the information. I actually learned things I didnt know and I did it while having fun! Thanks Improv Traffic School for keeping my speeding ticket off my record! I will definitely recommend this defensive driving course to anyone needing to take traffic school.
Amanda B., Chandler, AZ



This is the best traffic school course/class I have completed by far. I attended a class in person a few years back and was kind of skeptical of an online course class being boring and dull. This course was very informative and entertaining all at the same time. Great course! Kudos to the Improv Online Traffic School! :)
Connie M., Florence, AZ



I appreciated being able to print each chapter for reveiw. I really liked the cartoons, and hilarious video clips!
Melissa P., Flagstaff, AZ



Thanks for not making this any more difficult than it needs to be, and thanks for having great customer service! Other traffic schools are unorganized and can't get their act together.
Lana O., Mesa, AZ



The jokes are the easiet way to remember a specific point. This was sooo much better than taking a class - I didn't fall asleep once!
Cathy R., Phoenix, AZ



Great.. Loved being able to test at my own pace. I've already used some of the knowledge I learned on the road and with others. Thank you.
Jan T., Peoria, AZ



What does Defensive Driving mean?

Defensive Driving is a term coined in 1960s (the explosion of the automobile era) by the National Safety Council. It's a term that defines a series of common sense driving techniques that, if followed, will help reduce the risk of automobile crashes by anticipating basic driving scenarios.

As logic goes, even if you're a seasoned professional driver, you're still at risk due to factors outside of your control. Actions of other drivers contribute to many traffic crashes. Defensive driving teaches you to anticipate emergencies and actions of other drivers.

What are Defensive Driving Techniques?

The main thing to remember about defensive driving is that you must always PREDICT and ANTICIPATE what drivers and other street users (pedestrians, bike riders etc…) may do and what will you do to avoid it. You're constantly looking ahead, asking yourself WHAT IF? What if the driver ahead of me slams on the brakes? What if that parked car opens a door? What if someone cuts in front of me? What if someone runs a red light? You get the picture.

Make sure you see them and most important… MAKE SURE THEY SEE YOU.

Remember that you're sharing the road with millions of drivers (over 200 million as of last count). To be safe driver you must work to communicate with other drivers and road users. Most of this wisdom is really simple; use your signals, make sure your brake lights are working, don't drive in other vehicles' blind spots, try to maintain an eye contact with other drivers, etc.

Be a pessimist.

When driving, the glass is always half empty. Don't assume that the other motorist will do the right thing. In other words, it's one case where its okay to assume that the other driver is an idiot who doesn't know what he/she is doing (just don't yell it out the window).

To summarize, as a defensive driver you:
  • Scan the road ahead and around you.
  • Plan for Emergencies.
  • Ask yourself: "What If?"
  • Plan an escape route.
  • Make sure that other drivers see you.
  • Avoid distractions, like cell phones.

By following this easy and simple logic, you become a Defensive Driver who can predict and avoid many dangerous situations.
