From students who took our Defensive Driving Courses in Virginia.
Very Entertaining. Creative and a good learning experience! 
Shana R., VAIt really kept my interest and I really did learn a few things I did not know before. 
Sophie A., VAExcellent course. Valuable, interesting information presented in an attention-grabbing way. Jared N., VAWonderful course! I will pass this along to my family, friends and coworkers. Very user-friendly as well. Wish I had this the last two times I killed a Saturday sitting in the basement of the library taking a defensive driving course! Stephanie L., VAThis course was both interesting and engaging. Even though I feel that I am a relatively safe driver, I found going over the many rules helpful. Driving is an important responsibility and it is important that all drivers take it seriously, and do not take anything for granted. Jim S., VAIt was surprising well done and informative. I actually felt like it made it into a learning experience and something that made up for the disappointment of having to pay for a ticket. Jeffrey R., VAVery easy to use and to understand. I feel like a better and smarter driver after the course. 
Ernest T., VAI appreciate the addition of humor into this course. It definitely made it more palatable, and I even think I got more out of it. Laughter makes you pay attention – you can’t help it. Selene C., VAThis is the best course I’ve ever taken! I actually have learned different things, and it didn’t feel force fed. Timothy N., VAI love the flexibility! For a busy adult, it’s hard to dedicate 8 straight hours on a weekend for taking a classroom course (including commute). Besides, relaxing in the weekend reduces stress from the previous work week, thus making us mentally BETTER drivers. Flexibility of this course definitely encourages this. Great Job! Chen S., VAThe manner of presentation drove home the important points and being able to do it on my time was important to me. Lisa S., VAUsing my smartphone I can take traffic school anywhere at any time. The comedy breaks and quizzes are great, just the right amount of learning and fun. This is much better than going somewhere to take traffic school. Oline C., VAAlthough I hate to admit that this is my second interaction with this program, both times I have found it interesting and fun! Jessica A., VAI loved the breaks. They were always placed at the right time. Also the comedian and the instructor made the class really fun and easy to understand. I throughly enjoyed the entire course! Jesus C., VAFun and informative. A great refresher. John O., VA
