Can any one recommend a online traffic school?
WHAT ARE THE BEST ONLINE TRAFFIC SCHOOLS OR DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOLS?
2/26/2001 - webreviews.com - Traffic schools are the main way drivers avoid points appearing on their defensive driving records and an increase in their car insurance payments. In order to beat the competition - and to make what is bound to be a dull few hours as painless as possible - traffic schools have come up with various ways to get people to attend their classes. The most popular of these is to offer a traffic school in which the instructor adds a heavy dose of humor to the class. Others offer free pizza to those who enroll. Still others are more practical and, knowing how much money cited drivers have already paid, emphasize their minimal fees or don't require payment unless you pass the course. Others now offer the same services online for home study. In summary, there are 3 ways to complete a traffic school course: On site , Online, Via home study. At on site schools, students meet at a location determined by the traffic school, where they receive instruction on road rules and driving safely. If you want free pizza and comedy as a part of your traffic school experience, then this is probably the option to go with. But today, in-class traffic schools are fading out in the new internet world. A simple search of the Internet today will bring up many such online traffic schools. The HOME STUDY benefits are obvious: You can take the course in the comfort of your own home or wherever you have access to a computer. You can work at your own pace (as long as you meet the court's deadline). You don't have to worry about making reservations for a class or locating a building. In some cases, it may be less expensive than regular traffic school. Some even have interactive games and allow you to take the course via streaming video. But in all this confusion, who is the best? We at WebReviews.com attempted to determine just that. We categorized 4 areas: SIMPLICITY OF THE WEB SITE, PRICE OF THE COURSE, AVAILABILITY OF THE TRAFFIC SCHOOL STAFF, OVERALL COURSE EXEPERIENCE. Over the period of two weeks, we looked at over 20 home study traffic schools, among them: trafficschool.com, internettrafficschool.com, webtrafficschool.com, onlinetrafficschool.com, onlinedrivingschool.com, nettrafficschool.com, idrivesafely.com, gototrafficschool.com. We set up student accounts with each and looked around giving each of them a quick 10 possible points for each of the 4 criteria. After this, we pooled our findings and came up with a TOP 5 school list: http://www.internettrafficschool.com http://www.thewebtrafficschool.com http://www.onlinedrivingschool.com http://www.netdriversed.com http://www.nettrafficschool.com Then we each took all five classes and added up each categoty and came up with a final TOTAL score. Number 5 was: NetDriversEd at http://www.netdriversed.com . The school was good but a little hard to follow with not much humor. But the website was simple, someone answered the phone when we called and answered our emails. Also, the price was fair at 24.95. OVER ALL SCO 39 POINTS Number 4 was: OnlineDrivingSchool at http://www.onlinedrivingschool.com . This was also good, it took 6 hours to do and it had some interesting features like games and videos. The website was easy to use, the phone was answered when we called and our emails. Their price was 19.95. OVER ALL SCO 41 POINTS Our third best site was: NetTrafficSchool at http://www.nettrafficschool.com . I liked their cool website and so did the others. I had a little trouble registering but I am stupid at these things. No one else did. Some humor, 5 hours from beginning to end. I needed help registering and someone was there to help me and answered my emails. NTS's price was 24.95 too. OVER ALL SCO 42 POINTS The number 2 site was: TheWebTrafficSchool at http://www.thewebtrafficschool.com . Easy to use links helped a lot. I was attracted by their website and so did the others. Simple drop-down menus. Quick page reloads. The course was interesting, with quizzes and a final, about 6 hours total. I got a phone service when I called but it was after 8:00 PM on the weekend so I wasn't surprised. School price of 24.95. OVER ALL SCO 44 POINTS And our overall favorite was INTERNET TRAFFIC SCHOOL at http://www.internettrafficschool.com . ITS has the simplest site to use of anyone BY FAR. Clean white with lots of text instructions. They also had their FAQ's right up front along with their rules, history, courts and instructions. Registration was a breeze for all of us too because everything was explained up front clearly. Again they explained what to expect BEFORE the course even started and told people that they had 300,000 other students and were Better Business Bureau Approved. All the schools should do this, but no others did. The course itself was head and shoulders above any of the other courses too. It was filled with humor, pictures, outside links, easy quizzes and a final. They had very strict security, unlike many of the other schools, and also emailed us a completion certificate when we finished too. VERY COOL. IT took longer than all the other courses, about 6 hours but it didn't seem that long. None of us needed to call them but we did again to see what they would do and a very helpful employee named Terry helped us and it turns out he was also the owner and was working on a Sunday afternoon to boot. In summary, we can recommend all of the 5 above courses but if we were to ever need to go to an online home study traffic school for real, we would go to InternetTrafficSchool. (Actually we heard they were trying to buy all of the above 4 courses and incorporate them into their Traffic School family sometime in 2003) It was friendly, homey, funny and unique. School price was $14.95 for us. OVERALL SCO 48 |
