Cheap Traffic School

I had to go to traffic school in april 2013 and I chose this place. The instructor I had was a nice guy, he knew his stuff, and helped out those who needed his assistance. His name is Alvin, I think. He is a kewl guy

I just attended a Sunday Dec. 23, 2012 classroom course. The instructor Alvin IS THE BEST. I’ll tell you why: He is the first instructor who clarified that yes you have the right to a trial if you were given a ticket, and again you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt… BUT if you request court then it says you WAIVE your option to do traffic school. If you get convicted by the judge, you can ask for traffic school still, as a fallback, but don’t bet on it. Just knowing this now makes me feel better as to my decision making process, knowing the facts. There will be times to contest, and times to just go to school. Secondly, Alvin as he goes over the materials tells you what are important points so when you take the test, it’s a breeze. And he clarifies and makes you think. Lots of meaningful discussion, though I thought I know much, I learned more… or at least saw things in a different way to make the concept much more understandable. And finally, the videos he showed as required by DMV are timely and pertinent: simply — don’t talk on the phone while driving; no text, no such BS. Just pull over and stop and then talk. Don’t endanger yourself and worse, others. A phone call can wait, and all trivia in calls and texts are not worth plowing into anyone due to your inattentiveness.
Yes I endured traffic school two days before Christmas, on a Sunday. But it is an investment in safety.
Bad thing about the location: no parking, you have to park in the street. Cold inside. Smells musty and rotten inside the room.
Good: breaks taken. Pace of instruction. Some light comedy. Cheap at $ 31. Same evening they send online proof of completion; no more hassle for you to make copies and send to the court. Overall a cheap and good course to take if you have to. But please, drive safely and avoid this. Tickets are so expensive these days.

If i could give them negative stars I would. I only got as far as the phone call to sign up and the guy was such a dick I had to hang up… jerk.

This is one of the schools listed in my traffic violation paperwork. I have to take a 12 hour class as it is the second violation in less then 18 months and online is not allowed. I booked them because they were economical. I think it was 35 dollars for the 12 hours. However 2 nights before the scheduled class they called me to tell me that the class I was to attend had to be cancelled and so they moved me to a class at another location. The new location was aprox 20 miles from my house. Since I had to go two different days to cover the 12 hours I had been scheduled at two different locations to begin with.
The change didn’t work out for me so I didn’t end up going. I called to reschedule a two day class. Again they scheduled me at a convenient location near my house. (within 10 minutes). This time, the night before the class they called me to yet again change the location for both pending classes. Both new locations were again about 20 miles from my house. I got upset and told the representative that this was not acceptable and that I needed something closer to my house and to make a long story short, he basically hung up on me. I called again and the next person was very nice and tried to calm me down but regardless, they didn’t have anything close to my house.
The point is that the whole operation seemed kind of shady. It seems odd to me that they would schedule me near my house on two different occasions (but at different addresses) and then twice cancel and move me further out. All in all we are talking about 4 appointments and in all cases they were at different places. They are sort of like the Taco Truck of driving schools. If your time is valuable and wasting money on gas when traffic schools abound, then stay away from this school. They are disorganized and the people who call know nothing about the operation. Basically they are just operators who input info into a computer. This does not feel l like a real company, it feels like someone is running this out of a house. It has been an unpleasant experience for something your trying to accomplish that is already unpleasant to begin with. Can I give them negative stars.
