Content was not very engaging like advertised. It was paragraphs of text with one photo on the page. No videos or anything interactive. But the information was a great refresher!

Easy to use, low cost (except for the ticket) and gave great information you forget. Just remember to hit the next button when the timer is up. It does make you take the 4 hours you are supposed to spend to do the class. If I get another ticket in another 5 years, I'll look for Highway traffic school again.

Very easy! Great customer service, too. Had to call to change my first name and it was done in seconds. Was notified it was sent to the state the exact day they said it would! Took about 6 hours total with a few breaks, so nothing too bad at all if it’s going to keep my insurance down!

My son used the site. He found the resources to be very helpful. After taking the practice test twice he felt ready for the real thing and he passed it on his first try. He found the test to be easier than the practice test which is always a good sign of strong resources.
