I remember the first time I ever received a speeding

ticket, and needed to take a defensive driving course to help take care of the ticket.

I immediately began looking up places to take a defensive driving course.

I found a few locations to take the course, but each location was either horribly far from where I lived, or the hours for the

course conflicted with my schedule.

I thought I can’t miss work or school just to take a defensive driving course.

I then made a terrific discovery that I could take a driving course online.

There are many benefits to taking a driving course online.

The biggest benefit is that a student isn’t stuck in a classroom for a set amount of

time.

This means that a student taking the course can take needed breaks, and return to where

the stopped studying material.

This also means that if a student needs to hear a piece of information again the

student can go over the material again.

Another benefit of taking a defensive driving course online is that it is interactive with the

student.

Students can watch videos going over the different material, and then answer

questions to guarantee that they understood the material.

Also, due to the interactive nature of the course the student’s information is secured.

With an interactive defensive driving course students can be asked certain questions in

order to verify that they are taking the course, and that someone hasn’t hacked

their account.

The third benefit of taking a defensive driving course is the affordability.

The ways that students save money quickly adds up.

Let’s consider a student takes a classroom based course.

The student has to spend money on gas to get to the location and to return to their

home.

The student then has to pay for the actual course itself.

The actual course can be offered for as low as $25.00 as per state law.

However an instructor can charge more for the course to cover his/her costs.

With all this in mind an online course may definitely be cheaper.

The final reason to take a driving safety course is due to the possible discount on

auto insurance.

A number of insurance agents offer a discount for completing the course.

In conclusion the benefits to taking an online defensive driving course is that convenience to take the course without having to alter one’s

schedule greatly, to be able to review material again as needed, and to save money on auto

insurance premiums if offer by your insurance carrier.
