Orange County Court Approves Traffic School Online As Alternative To 8-Hour Classroom Program

Santa Rosa, California  (July 8, 2009) — The Distance Learning Company, a California Corporation and recognized leader in providing quality, certified online education programs to students since 1997, today announced that its leading online traffic school program, TrafficSchoolOnline.com, will soon be made available to drivers in Orange County beginning August 1, 2009. Drivers with traffic tickets issued in Orange County will be able to attend a court approved online traffic school from the comfort of their own home thanks to a change in Orange County policy.

 

“Drivers with traffic tickets issued in Orange County are about to feel a lot less frustrated trying to keep their driving record clean,” said Steve Soldis, CEO of The Distance Learning Company, the online education provider that runs TrafficSchoolOnline.com. “Over the last 12 years, we’ve developed some incredible relationships with court systems across the nation to help drivers dismiss traffic tickets virtually effortlessly. We’re thrilled to finally add the Orange County court system to our list.”

 

TrafficSchoolOnline.com pioneered the online traffic school concept in America in 1997 and was first to market with its innovative approach to traffic school. Today, the online traffic school course provider is a leading destination for drivers looking to correct mistakes they’ve made on the road, reduce or eliminate traffic ticket fines, and avoid points on their record.

To dismiss a traffic ticket, students can access TrafficSchoolOnline.com anytime 24/7, choose their state, select the county where their traffic ticket was issued and then register for the program. The course only takes hours to complete and students can attend class on their own time from home, the office or anywhere they have an Internet connection.  For over a decade, TrafficSchoolOnline.com has offered its state-approved course to states across the country, including California. However, until this month, Orange County chose not to offer drivers an online option to dismiss a traffic ticket.

That will change on August 1 for TrafficSchoolOnline.com, a course provider who meets all the criteria outlined by Orange County court officials, including the ability to comply with an ID verification system.
Drivers who have been issued traffic tickets in Orange County, California can access TrafficSchoolOnline.com 24/7, 365 days a year.

Have you been caught in a traffic ticket-dismissing scheme?

Got a traffic ticket? What if you had two easy options to dismiss it?

The first one would set you back $29.95 and would require just a few hours of your time to take an online traffic school course from a location of your choosing. You'd learn how to avoid future traffic tickets through safe driving instruction and the fee would go to a reputable company with more than 12 years experience dismissing traffic tickets. Oh, and did we mention that the online traffic school company is approved by the state as a legitimate option to help you get rid of your traffic ticket?

That's option one. Option two is a little more expensive and a lot shadier. It'll set you back $200 and while it doesn't involve taking a traffic school course, there's no actual company behind it and you need to pay cash. Needless to say, option two is not approved by the state. In fact, it's illegal.

While most people would classify option one, the online traffic school, as a fairly easy way out of a traffic ticket, some people have been enticed by option two, the even easier and more expensive way to dismiss your traffic ticket.

That's exactly what happened in Dearborn, Michigan until its police department dismantled a traffic ticket-fixing scheme involving one of its officers. Traffic ticket holders were contacted by a few of the ringleaders to let them know that they'd be able to wipe the traffic ticket off their record if they paid a few hundred bucks.

It's understandable why some drivers would fall victim to a traffic ticket-fixing scheme like the Dearborn, Michigan one. After all, having a traffic ticket could mean points on your record and higher insurance premiums. That's more money out of your pocket each month. A one-time fee could prevent that. But it's also illegal.

Thankfully, there is a legal option to dismiss your traffic ticket, avoid points on your record, and keep your insurance rates in check. And it costs a lot less than the $200 requested by the Michigan con artists.

Since 1997, TrafficSchoolOnline.com, the original online traffic school, has helped drivers dismiss their traffic violations, painlessly and virtually effortlessly through their online driving school course.

The online traffic school company is no fly-by-night organization. The respected traffic school has worked with state agencies and experts in education to create an online traffic school program that offers maximum convenience while providing the right amount and type of education.

Today, TrafficSchoolOnline.com, the original online traffic school, is one of America's leading destinations for drivers looking to rip up their traffic ticket and not worry about the consequences.

Sound a little far fetched? It's not. If you're sitting on a traffic ticket that you'd rather not pay, all you need to do is jump online, select the state and county where you committed your traffic violation, and then sign up for the online traffic school course. It takes just a few hours to complete and when you're done, you'll be well on your way to ripping up your traffic ticket.

The cost? Just $29.95 in most states.

There are no hidden fees whatsoever. And best of all, it's actually legal.

Outrageous Traffic Incidents and Reckless Driving Charges of the Week

TrafficSchoolOnline.com has been helping drivers dismiss their traffic tickets since 1997. Naturally, in over 12 years of business, we've heard some unbelievable traffic ticket and driver safety stories from students enrolled in our online traffic school course. And until this week, we thought we'd heard it all.

Oh, how wrong we were. Over the past few days, we've witnessed some unbelievable stories related to unsafe driving, reckless speeding and idiotic behavior on the road. Here are a few of them.

Ohio Man charged with drunk driving — on a barstool.

Driving drunk is never a smart thing. Not only could you face a traffic ticket and a trip to traffic school online or an online defensive driving course, but you could also kill someone.

In one of the most peculiar stories of the week, an Ohio 'driver' faces drunken driving charges after crashing his barstool. Yes, that's correct. You're not seeing things. He was driving a barstool.

A motorized bar stool to be exact. According to the driver, the vehicle can travel up to 38 mph. And according to reports, the charged driver had consumed 15 beers before getting behind the… um… wheel. Not a good combination, if you ask us.

While an online traffic school and online defensive driving course doesn't cover motorized barstools, everyone at TrafficSchoolOnline.com will be watching this one closely to see how it plays out in court.

Get the whole bizarre story from msnbc.

Oregon driver charged with speeding after being clocked at 103mph — and you won't believe what she does for a living.

Here's something you'll learn not to do in online traffic school. On Sunday, March 29th, a woman from Salem, Oregon was charged with driving 103 mph in a 45 mph zone. For those of you without a calculator, that's 58 mph over the limit. Again, that's not a typo. 103 miles per hour.

The kicker? The speeding driver had worked for the Oregon Department of Transportation DMV since 1988. We're not making this up.

According to reports, the reckless driver was attempting to teach her grandson what not to do behind the wheel. At TrafficSchoolOnline.com, we think it would have been a lot safer, and smarter, to simply tell the grandson not to speed. Or enroll him in an online traffic school as a refresher course.

But what do we know? Get the whole story on this reckless driver.

Andres 3000 gets caught driving over 100mph

It seems like 100 is the magic number this week. Andres 3000 of Outkast fame was clocked driving 109 mph in Atlanta.

The music sensation is now free on a property bond to the tune of $1,200 and is scheduled to appear in court on April 29th.

Mr. Benjamin (no, 3000 isn't actually his last name) might want to take a look at taking an online traffic school course, much like the one offered by TrafficSchoolOnline.com. Given his excessive speed, it might not necessarily eliminate his ticket entirely, but the information he'll learn might be enforcement enough to help him drive within the limit.
