Are you a Texas resident who wants to get a ticket dismissed or earn an insurance discount? Do you have a busy schedule? Do you have a device that can connect to the internet? If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place! We’re answering a few common questions about our Texas Defensive Driving course below.
1. How do I take the course?
Our Texas Defensive Driving course is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. This course is completed online. All you need is an internet connection, and you can complete our course from the comfort of home, or even on the go! It takes six hours to complete the course per state requirements, and you can do it all in one sitting or break it up into several sessions. You’ll take a short quiz after each lesson, and you just have to answer three out of four questions correctly in order to move on to the next lesson. If you happen to fail a quiz, you can retake it as many times as you need to in order to pass.
2. Will my court or county accept the Safe2Drive course?
We’re approved in all counties, cities, and courts in the state of Texas. Each court has its own requirements for taking a Defensive Driving course for ticket dismissal, so you’ll need to check with your court to make sure you qualify. You have to request to take a Defensive Driving course for the traffic violation shown on your citation and then pay a fee to the court for permission to take a course.
If the court grants you permission to take a Defensive Driving course to dismiss your ticket, you’ll need to obtain a copy of your Texas driving record. Luckily, you can save time by having Safe2Drive order your driving record for you!
3. How can I get an insurance discount?
Many insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who complete a Defensive Driving program. Discounts can be as high as 15%! Check with your insurance provider prior to signing up for our course to make sure they offer this discount. If they do offer the discount, select the "Insurance Discount" option when you register for the Texas Defensive Driving course. When you successfully complete the course, we’ll send you a Certificate of Completion, which you can send to your insurance company to get your discount.
4. How do I get my certificate?
When you’ve successfully completed the course, you’ll get your Certificate of Completion emailed to you instantly! If you’re taking the course for ticket dismissal, you’ll need to sign the certificate and deliver it to your court. If you’re taking the course for an insurance discount, sign your certificate and deliver it to your insurance provider. We provide an extra copy of your certificate that you can keep for your records.
