Online Traffic Safety School -- IL
« on: July 08, 2004, 02:20:16 pm »
I'm taking the online traffic safety class, the class is a Flash based program that waits for the audio to end before allowing you to click 'next'.   It's a pain, but it's better than spending 4 hours in a class room.  I spent three hours on it yesterday, just letting it play in the background and clicking "next" whenever I didn't hear anything.  It's taking me longer to do it this way, but I'm getting other stuff done while it's playing.

..anyway, there is a test at the end of this thing, and I've over heard some of the numbers and facts they are saying, and now that I'm almost done with it, I've realized that I could fail the final test.  Does anyone know of a reliable site I can use for a 'study guide' while I'm taking the final test?

Thanks

You might try your local DMV website, they generally have lots of study material (at least at the office).

I'm looking for a unofficial site, with information concentrating on the test and answers.

I took the class, it was simple.  The unscored questions that are asked during the class, are the same questions they ask at the end.  So you can just let it play in one window and hit next at the end of each page, and just pay attention to the unscored course quizzes, and you'll pass.

I have a question now Dartful, is this like 'Defensive Driving' you're taking - which reduces your liability insurance and takes points off your licesnce?  I don't know if they have that available in NY state but it would be cool to do this online as opposed to travelling to a classroom.

Illinois doesn't have points, which is a good and bad thing.  If you get a ticket, you can take this 4 hour class and you get put on supervision. If you don't get a ticket in the next 6 months it gets taken off your record.  If you do get a ticket, you get to take an 8 hour class, and you get put on supervision again for another 6 months, if you get three tickets within 12 months you lose your license for 12 months.  If this was run properly it would be better to have your points system, but since it's not, we're better off.  The counties don't talk to each other or talk to the insurance companies.  This is my fourth ticket, in 12 months.  I've had to go to three 4 hour classes, this is the first time they gave me the option to take the class online.

If I can drive below the speed limit for the next 6 months I'll have a clean record.
(if not I'll just pay the fine and take another class)

A friend of mine got a DUI, and asked his lawyer how much hirer his insurance is going go up, his lawyer told him if he doesn't switch insurance companies or tell his insurance company about it, it wont go up at all.  It's been three years, and his insurance has gone down, because as far as they know, he's been a safe driver.
