The course is fast. The videos are good. The questions are not hard to answer. It's easy to navigate on the website. The program also offers your drivers record for a surcharge.
One of the validation questions is "What country was your spouse born (I have to pick the first letter)"
Talk about invasion of privacy- that a defensive driving vendor has access to immigration records, marital status, credit reports and God knows what else- they can pick and choose random questions from massive amount of information invading someone's privacy with the excuse we want to validate if it's you taking the defensive driving class.next thing you know these companies gonna go after your HIPAA records "How many viagra pills did you receive in your last prescription?"
THe course itself is not bad.
They will not reach out to you for verification. Only when you email them to complain they will respond to you very unprofessional place to do any business with.
Convenient, ok set up, videos were ok. For me some areas were slower to access but it could be my computer, a Windows 10. Great physics overview, articulation perfect from presenters re hosts and experts..
Well done so far have two sections to go. It has been interesting and very professional. Possibly could use some updating concerning the use of navigation systems. Once section talks about planning with a Map.
As for now still in process of quizzing but simple and easy to follow video documentaries. Hope to receive within time the certificate of completion before court date. Insurance discount is a great pro.
Defensive driving is not a class anyone takes for fun, but though watching the video, it appears most of the content with "hosts" and "interviews" were recorded some time around 2003. The clips of traffic looks potentially older than that. The quizzes are mostly common sense, so, good there.
Really easy, fast and it really makes you to think about your driving. With this course I learned that if you drive safely you can save many lives. Car accidents is one of the main reasons why teenagers die.
Too long. Seems like a money maker ONLY. I learned next to nothing. What did most of it have to do with my speeding ticket? I could have easily just mailed you guys the money. That's all that this is about, anyway.
Good course, straight to the point. Takes a long time to go through all the lessons but pretty simple, and you can request your driving record at the end of you want although that is more expensive that just getting it from Texas.gov.

Business History
Mr. Bruce worked with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to establish the guidelines for an online delivery method. After a lengthy approval process, Mr. Bruce received the official approval. The company then acquired and installed production-grade equipment that would become the backbone of the site, and launched operations in February 2000. In the first full year of operations, DefensiveDriving.com certified its 100,000th customer, and the company has grown rapidly ever since.
The philosophy at DefensiveDriving.com is to provide the most educational, highest quality products in the industry, and to support those products with exceptional customer service. The company achieves this by working with outside consultants, conducting focus groups with potential customers, and implementing best practices from the top call centers in the country. The company operates 24-hour in-house call and fulfillment centers that are staffed by highly trained customer support representatives and licensed defensive driving instructors.
The hard work and expense have paid off, because DefensiveDriving.com is the #1 rated online course in Texas, a distinction that has set the standard for the company’s additional product offerings. In 2004, the company’s dedication to excellence was recognized when the new Wheels in Motion® video course was awarded a Silver Plaque at the International Communications Film & Video Awards (part of the Chicago International Film Festival). In 2005, DefensiveDriving.com continued breaking new ground in the defensive driving industry by partnering with Time Warner Cable to offer the Wheels in Motion video On Demand.
In 2008, DefensiveDriving.com once again offers an industry first: defensive driving instruction via Online Streaming Video on the Internet. Now anyone with an Internet connection can watch the world’s best driving instruction video any time, with no returns, no late fees, and no wait!
