I have earned the privilege of attending traffic school in California. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
There are 100 on the approved list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) How do I pick one?
Are any better? Faster? Cheaper? Is there one where I might actually learn something or have fun? Are all the internet ones the same?

I used <www.ComedyTrafficSchool.com> Reasonable, entertaining, and it met the county's standards. Took a little time on a Sunday afternoon.

Mueller was saying you now need to go take a test in front of a notary now. Anyone run in to this?

I did my traffic service from the ticket I got on the way back from RRC online. Super easy, cheap, and fast (I think I did it in 1-2 hours)

Some of these use a test method that was developed to keep you from not reviewing the material and just taking the test. They embed random words or phrases that are totally out of place like zucchini bread or jalopy springs. The unit test will have a question regarding the random phrases. If you get everything else right, it will not matter if you get the 'cheater' question right or not.

Of course, you can learn something if you go all the way through it but the answers to the legit questions are pretty common sense.

I have done both online and by mail. The online is convenient, but you must click through every freakin sceen when its ready to move on. It is designed to take you forever. If it is an option to do it by mail do it. If you do it by mail they send you a booklet and the test. Guess what? You look up the questions you don't know then mail in your test. You save hours by doing it this way. It has been two years for me since I did this. I hope this is still an option.

If you live in Nevada why do you have to go to Cali traffic school?

Doesn't really matter which one you choose, the outcome is the same.

A decade or so ago, I took a offered by a San Francisco cop, he covered all the stuff he was supposed to, and answered a bunch of questions about police motives and priorities.

A lot more interesting than the comics and clowns.

Last one I did online and pounded it out in 3 hrs. You can stop and restart if you want to break it up over a couple days. Beats losing a whole day on precious weekend.

Pursuant to AB2499, which was passed in the 2009-2010 legislative session, effective July 1, 2011, traffic violations where a defendant has elected or been ordered to attend a traffic violator school will no longer be a dismissal on the driving record.
They will now become a confidential conviction.
A confidential conviction will mask the violation from your public record.
Insurance companies will not see the confidential conviction.

What a F'n scam

I did the On-Line class Citationstation.com It took about 2.5 hours and was a bit boring but it is done!

I just randomly picked one and signed up! I paid a bit more to have it electronicly sent to the court (Alameda) and a hard copy sent to my home.

Some of the courses require a notory so pick one that does not!

Do the on-line test during football Sunday/women's tennis/whatever, so as not to be waiting for reading time allotments. It's pretty simply really.

A little over two years ago I used GoToTrafficSchool.com; it was boring, but it got the job done. I think the mandatory online training at work (very corporate) is consistently far more annoying - or else it's raised my pain threshold significantly for this sort of thing...
