Come Online And Re-educate Yourself About Traffic Rules!
Filed Under Schools & Colleges |
My thirty-one years of life have yielded only three traffic violations! Why so few? Well, I was taught at home that I should respect everything on four wheels. And this was hammered home to me right from when I was a kid. Plus, I attended a driver education program at a high school. The people conducting the program believed that residents in places where winter conditions could be harsh should know how to handle their cars on snow or sleet or ice. As a result, I grew up into a great driver, always mentally alert and prepared for everything. Yes, like all boys, I loved speed too! Going back to the past, my first ticket resulted from speeding to outrun a curfew at the age of 16. The 1980s saw me getting a ticket for not having a seat belt. The policeman hauled me up for not having a headlamp, and fined me for this too! The third time was when I ran a red light because I wanted to reach home (one and a half hours away from college) as soon as possible. I had stayed up the whole night!
But last week, having moved and been new in town just recently-in the last couple of months-I got pulled over for speeding. Yikes! I was a bit startled, really, as in my terms I was not speeding, but was doing 44 in a part of town where, I have since studied, the signs go from 35 to 25 to 35 to 25 (in one spot TWO SIGNS, one for 35 AND one for 25 are together?????)almost like a speed trap set-up, if you ask me.
Letting me off with a simple warning and a kind smile, the officer asked me to register for traffic school online. He had found out that I had received a traffic ticket about thirty years ago and felt that a re-education would do no harm!
I had heard friends talking over the last few years about traffic school online, about how you can keep from adding points to your driver record (points increasing means, evidently, insurance rates increasing), and I had learned of friends having done traffic school online to relieve the cost of the traffic ticket. (A red light violation, once a staggering $107 in my area, for example, is now almost $400!) So now I get to experience first hand the traffic school online adventure.
I have started the research, and found that, logically, one should use an accredited traffic school online-one which is legitimate and will issue you the documentation you need to prove to the courts you have paid your penance. I have also found that traffic school online can be manageable, allowing you to study at your own pace and during the hours you are available; that traffic school online is cheap; and that traffic school online, if you search long enough, will appeal to your particular learning style-giving you games if you are a doer, text only if you prefer verbal instruction, and cartoons and short films if you are more of a visual learner.
I am hoping to complete my traffic school online in the next few days, and will either go with comedy or cartoons and games. They look promising and they hopefully will not humiliate me too much with road rules I learned 31 years ago and ace on every DMV test, etc., though once every decade “forget”. What a reminder.
