Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take me to finish the course?

Our Defensive Driving course is a state-minimum of six hours, but that doesn't mean you have to finish in that timeframe. Many students take the course all in one sitting, while others work at their own pace. The choice is yours. Log in and out as often as you like — the system saves your place.

Are court fees the same as "driver improvement fees"?

Unfortunately, all fees paid to the court are separate from fees paid for an actual driver improvement course like ours. Although many courts call the fees paid in addition to the bail amount a "driver improvement fee," it is actually only an administrative fee. Michigan Online Defensive Driving is privately owned and operated so our course does cost money — as do all driver improvement courses.

How do I pay for the course?

You pay for the course by credit card. Once you fill out the registration form, you'll be linked to a secure credit card page to pay quickly and effortlessly. The registration is encrypted to make your purchase safe.

What if my deadline for completion of the traffic school course has passed?

Contact your Michigan court directly for instructions regarding due date extensions. Michigan Online Defensive Driving cannot extend your due date.
