Is your school certified by the DMV/court?

Yes. We are approved by all major California Courts.

How long will it take me to complete this course?

The course is designed to take 6 hours, 40 minutes and meets the requirement of an 8 hour traffic school course. You can complete the material at your own pace, and log out and log back in as often as you want.

My completion due date is approaching. Will I have enough time to finish?

Depending on your court's completion requirements we may be able to transmit a certificate on your behalf by next business day. If your court requires you to submit an original certificate, we recommend that you select an overnight delivery option at registration.

What happens if I fail my final quiz?

You have an unlimited number of attempts to pass the final quiz. The final quiz is all multiple choice or true/false questions based on the course material. You also have an option of printing the entire course chapters for open book review during the quiz.

How do I check if my certificate was posted?

We strongly suggest that you check with your court to make sure that the proper credit was posted against your case. Many courts would allow you to do this online or otherwise you would have to call the court.

We recommend that you wait at least 10 days after your completion before checking with the court, to allow proper processing time.

You can locate your court at http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/courts/find.htm.

I got my certificate - now what?

Reporting requirements are different for each court. We will provide you with detailed instructions for your court once you sign up for the course. But in most cases your completion is reported directly to the court.

Student Testimonials

Very good -- you made a potentially rather unpleasant experience both enjoyable and convenient. And, yes, I did learn some important things. It was an excellent refresher course and a good reminder of some things that are too easy to forget. Good work!
Wayne S., Newark, CA



I enjoyed this course very much. I have never taken a driving course online before and I enjoyed it more than being in a classroom.
Christina T., Anaheim, CA



Great way to do traffic school.
Pasquale, C. Sacramento, California



I actually feel I learned more on this online course than I have by reading the DMV book or taking traffic school in person. Very informative. I feel like a better driver after taking this program.
Bertha S., Fremont, CA



Very simple and I loved being able to do it from home.
Kaylin H., Hesperia, CA



I took the Improv Traffic School classroom course but this online traffic school is a much more convenient...
Allen K. San Gabriel, California



I really enjoyed this course. The videos were good and funny. Hopefully I won't receive any more tickets, especially after taking your your course. In the event I did, I would use this same exact one.
Elizabeth N., Bryn Mawr, CA



I'll use Improv Traffic School again if I ever need to do traffic school again.
Andrew F., Mission Viejo, CA



I was surprised both to laugh while completely a task I was not looking forward to, and to learn a few things. I would totally recommend this traffic school course to others. I appreciated the course, thank you.
Lisa B., Laguna Niguel, CA



Taking traffic school is never fun, but Improv does a good job making it as entertaining as possible. Great incentives and a good price, I will definitely recommend this course to anyone needing to go traffic school in the future.
Luana O., Martinez, CA



It was nice reviewing some of the road rules I forgot about after all this time.
Ilya S., San Luis Obispo, CA



After the traumatic experience of receiving a speeding ticket when I thought I was going at the speed limit, your comedic approach to taking the exam was most welcome and appreciated!
CJ B., Cotati, CA



Easily the only way to go when completing traffic school. Very amusing and informative too.
Jason N., Orange, CA



Pretty painless way to do Traffic School and a good value for the money.
Diana K., La Habra Heights, CA



The course content was very well thought out and informative. I think EVERY single CA driver should have to go through this course once every several years to be able to drive! I learned a lot!
Shannon C., Mission Viejo, CA



I never thought traffic school could actually be so fun and informative at the same time!
Raul O., Newport Beach, CA



It was good to get a fun feel for traffic school. Way better than attending the actual on site class.
Fausto E., Rancho Santa Margarita, CA



Good traffic school program. Easy to follow. Your program makes traffic school as painless as possible. I started off with a different online traffic school, but the information was so dry and boring. I'm glad a friend recommended Improv. It made everything much easier.
Oscar S., Los Angeles, CA



Great class, learned a lot good approach with combining the humor definitely made it a lot more enjoyable.
Lucas G., San Clemente, CA



I would recommend this online traffic school course to any person 50 years or older. I haven't been to school in over 30+ years and I must say, I was intimidated by taking test or a quiz but with this online course it made me feel at ease. It made me WANT to finish it. Thank you for a good time and no I won't be running a red light anytime soon.
Dolores S., Victorville, CA



It was very educational and fun. Edutainment indeed! Thank You IMPROV!
Edna S., Orange, CA



It was the most convenient, entertaining traffic school experience I've had.
Marcus D., Corona, CA



I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged in the course and took it seriously. I learned a great deal and realize that I need to work on controlling my anger when driving. This is a good constructive course that accomplishes the objective and it was convenient and a good value.
Bradford L., Dana Point, CA



So happy that the online options is available because being allowed to log off and resume later is so much better than being in traffic school and over loaded with info for a whole day. WILL DEFINITELY DO THIS AGAIN!!!
Jennifer D., Tustin, CA



Such an easy and fun way to attend class!
Stephanie M., Patterson, CA



Thank you for the comic relief, it made the task a little easier to complete. I actually learned a great deal....much that I will pass along to my children in the future.
Kathleen N., Fountain Valley, CA

I learned a lot through this course and I had fun doing it.
Lauren T., Whittier, CA



I very much enjoyed the ease of use of the website as well as the statistics and facts presented. As a bonus the jokes and comedians are a riot and I found the specific section on speed very educational and it really made me think that I was not saving much time at all by speeding and in actuality just stressing myself out. Thank you for best traffic school experience.
Arthur C. Oakland, California



Best online traffic school I've ever done.
Erin C., San Leandro, CA



I took the entire defensive driving course on my back porch next to the pool WOW!
Nelson G., Yucca Valley, CA



For my first (and hopefully only) time completing traffic school, I had fun and really appreciated the convenience.
Heather K., Rancho Cordova, CA



There was a long list provided by the court website for online traffic school choices. I am so happy with my decision to go with Improv Traffic School. When I got my ticket I was dreading traffic school. But Improv made it a fun learning experience. And it was easy! :)
Candis R., Lake Elsinore, CA



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.
