Are online defensive driving courses legitimate?
I have to take a defensive driving course to get a speeding ticket dropped, but I want to make sure the one I take is legit. Are online defensive driving courses the real deal?

Good on you for taking a course to improve your driving! You’ll be happy to know that online defensive driving courses are perfectly legitimate. Almost all states now allow drivers to take
defensive driving
courses online.Here are some recommendations for selecting the right online course:
- Research the online course you plan to take and make sure it is approved by your state of residence.
- Read customer reviews of the course to make sure it’s what you’re looking for.
- Choose a course that gives you a certificate of completion right after—you’ll need to show this certificate to the court to get your ticket dropped.
