defensive driving is only 35 bucks man

go somewhere and take the course, its only 6 hours long but you dont really do anything.
its easy, they give you the answers to the test.
i like taking it at restaurants so you get a lunch break in the middle

and when they mail you a certificate you get one for the court and another for your insurance, the blank for the name of the court is blacked out on the insurance copy so they never even know you got a ticket so you can send them their copy and most of the time youll get a discount for taking the course

ive taken it six times lol

I've decided to take the course. I think its the best option. The ticket is 180.00, just for 11mph over. I think thats a rip off. I'm going to look into it this week and work on getting it done in the next week or so. I think a local comedy club holds the class, I'm going to look into it. The lawyer thing is a little over kill. I wanted to just pay the ticket, but over the long run, it will cost me a fortune. I know I need to look for a new insurance company, and a clean record always helps your rates.

Hey, blackedout, where have you taken the course at? I'm right down the road from friendswood, I live in LaPorte.

I should be ok to take it, I'll probably call the courthouse, or just go up there where I would pay the fine and ask them. I'm sure I can take it though, why wouldnt I be able to just take it?

laff spot at 1960 and 249 by the willowbrook mall? i took it there, its not really that funny but it aint bad. think it was 6 hours and we got 2 breaks i think. mainly just watch movies and they give you answers for the exam. and you get 2 free passes to come to a comedy night.

u have to request driving school, usually you can just call or go to the court house and ask the lady at the desk if your eligable and she will let you.
