Reason enough never to get a ticket

I got a retarded ticket on a side street in the burbs back in December. I haven't had a ticket in years so I took the driving course and supervision offer. Now they offer the course (4 hours) online, and I have to complete it this week.

While it's better than having to go somewhere and sit through this, the course is AWFUL. The interactive deal talks to you and then makes you keep hitting the Next button and answer questions the whole time. But the voice talks AS SLOW AS IT CAN, just so you wouldn't feel jipped in case it took less than 4 hours. The best part is that all of the questions are totally trick questions that just **** me off because I know the answer but missed the 'never, sometimes, always' qualifiers.

I just tried to take some screen shots, but apparently the license on my capture program expired.

While I'm being force fed the 3-second rule, I'm realizing what I've really learned today: don't ever again think that the Bel detector won't be needed in crappy suburban side streets.

I took a similiar online course, but they would let you go back and look up the answers I just left the damn thing on and when it was over in say about 3 hours, I just went back and looked up the obscure questions that I didn't know and all was well. Hook up a video game and do that till its over, it isn't that bad.

That's the problem. I thought I could let it run while I'm working on other stuff at work. But it makes you hit a "next" button after about every 10 to 15 seconds of its speech.
