I think the minimum amount of time is too much since it is easy to read everything faster and you have to wait. However, the customer service was really helpful and very responsive to emails

Defensive Driving Course Review

The course is well designed and very easy to navigate from one lesson to the next. The course is 4+ hours but you can take breaks and not required to finish the test all at one time

This course is highly recommended

This course is highly recommended. It was a great review for someone who has been driving for 50+ years. The content was very applicable, and I appreciated how it contained a few chapters that focused specifically on Florida rules and regulations.

Easy and convenient!

This was a very convenient method doing the pre-licensing course. However, I took far longer than 5 hours. Sure you can probably breeze through and risk failing the course by not properly reading and retaining the information, but to learn the statistics and other crucial information to pass, you need to fully engage. I even paid for the audio upgrade and the length of time each section read to me was longer than what it said was the expected time. I still rather of done it this way, in my own time, but be prepared to spend close to double the course name time and be sure to take notes of the numeric statistics. When there are contradictory statements, and there are a couple, be sure to fact check with Google.

My terms

I liked that I could complete it at my own pace, on my own terms, and on my phone as well as a computer. I would do a section between classes or during a little break in my day, which was really helpful
