Safe Driving
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 in a "defensive" and safer manner. 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.
DefensiveDriving.com
DefensiveDriving.com offers courses designed to provide a review of traffic safety laws as well as mediate discussions on safe driving strategies. All of the courses have been approved by Texas courts for use in dismissing driving tickets. Another positive is that often these courses will lower insurance costs as much as 10%.
Courses
DefensiveDriving.com offers three different ways to take the defensive driving course:
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.

Teen Driving Courses
Offered by DefensiveDriving.com through their partner, Virtual Drive, the teen driving course offers everything needed in order to get a permit, license, and even car insurance discounts. It combines the use of cutting edge instructional technology, interactive graphics, video, and animation to help make learning easy, fun, and memorable. The course has been approved for student drivers in the state of Texas by the Texas Department of Public Safety. A recent study done by a major Texas university showed:
- 99% of graduates from the Teen Driving course did not have an accident or receive a DUI during their first year of driving;

History
David Bruce came up with the idea for DefensiveDriving.com after being involved in a fender-bender in 1998. He wanted 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 a 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 DefensiveDriving.com was officially launched, and over 100,000 students were certified by the end of the Web site's first full year.
