 Improvements in technology have made cars smarter and safer, yet the number of road accidents continues to increase. Human errors cause more accidents than car failure, which is why most states now require defensive driving courses prior to licensing.
-Some simple techniques and driver education can help reduce accidents and help people drive better and safer (defensive). Recognizing this, the state of Texas has approved ''defensive driving courses'' which teach driver safety and offer tips on how to be more cautious behind the wheel.

-David Bruce came up with the idea for DefensiveDriving.com after being involved in a fender-bender in 1998. He needed to keep the traffic ticket off of his driving record, but his busy lifestyle made it hard for him to take a defensive driving course in the traditional classroom setting. Mr. Bruce worked with the Texas Education Agency for 18 months to establish the guidelines for an online course before gaining approval in December of 1999. In February 2000 the site was officially launched, and by the end of DefensiveDriving.com’s first full year, it had helped certify over 100,000 students.

This option has been optimized for low bandwidth connections, which makes it easier to complete the course for customers using [[Wikipedia:Dial-up_access|dial-up]].
+All options are always available, which makes them easy to fit into any schedule. They can be started immediately, and you can pause and restart at any time. These courses can be completed in as little as 6 hours, or up to 90 days. Testing is done via the internet or over the phone.
-The online video course option is offered for customers with a [[Wikipedia:Broadband_Internet_access|high speed internet connection]]. Customers avail this option by viewing high quality [[Wikipedia:Streaming_media|video streaming]].
