Why do many people take 6 hours of Behind the Wheel training even if they are older than 16?

Question

Hi I am Aidan from Texas. I have received traffic ticket recently. While searching of online traffic schools I have noticed that most of the people selecting 6-hour course to dismiss their traffic ticket. Why do many people take 6 hours of Behind the Wheel training even if they are older than 16? I need information about 6-hours course and is this course providing any extra benefits than other courses?

Answer 1

To keep their insurance rates down is the reason for voluntary participation.  You get a citation, you go to the class, and the ticket points are kept off your insurance.

For some violations, or if you have several violations, the 6 hour course may be court ordered.  

Considering that some traffic tickets can almost double your insurance premiums, the investment of 6 hours is minimal.

Answer 2

It sliek you said, they do it just to dismiss the ticket. Teach your self. You wont learn anything form a class other than laws and regulations.

Answer 3

Age has nothing to do with it.  They rather have the POINTS dismissed so that their insurance rates don't increase.

Good Luck...

Answer 5

Hello Aidam,

Particularly in Texas state 6 Hour defensive driving course is approved and certified by the TEA(Texas Education Agency). And for my knowledge there is no other defensive driving course is approved by the TEA through ONLINE to dismiss traffic ticket.

In 6 Hour Texas Behind the wheel training program divided into chapters and each chapter speaks about particular road safety topics and I am mentioning below course elements:

    * Introduction to the course

    * Highway safety

    * The driver

    * Alcohol and drug impaired driving

    * Other driving impairments

    * Traffic laws

    * The driving environment

    * Driving emergencies

    * The vehicle maintainance and other.
