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 what happened last week was incredible! I had just shifted to this town. I got pulled up for speeding (I was doing 44)! This town indicated the speed limit as 25 to 35. The same area shows two signs–one stating 25 and the other 35, leaving the driver very confused?

Anyway, the officer let me off with a smile and a jovial warning. When he discovered that my last speeding ticket was received 30 years ago, he felt that I needed refresher courses and advised me to go for traffic school online.

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 have decided to enroll myself in traffic school online. My choice would be comedy or games and cartoons. I hope to end the course with honors and not too much humiliation. After all, I learnt everything 31 years ago, and do forget my lessons sometimes!
