That was Cheney.

It does both.

So I'm taking defensive driving online, and I was surprised to discover that a childhood friend is the hostess of my 6-hour video. Then, a few minutes in, they interviewed one of my college professors... I'm waiting with baited breath to see if I know anyone else in this dang thing.

My granddaughter has been living with her aunt who is a trauma nurse.
The g-daughter got a ticket for not wearing her seat belt.
The g-daughter has to take a 3-hr course on driving safety.
Guess who teaches the course...

Tonight I'm just mildly amusing myself.

This morning I finally understood the true difference between men and women in the way they communicate:

Wife: Bill, come watch TV with me
Bill: Sits down on the couch

Wife: Would you like a cup of coffee ?
Bill: No, I just finished a cup

significant pause...

Wife: Well, will you get me one

This is "classroom" (or whatever) only? There's no actual driving practice?

normally there isn't AFAIK. Its just a moneymaking scheme. Having it done online just saves them even more money.

There's never been actual driving involved in defensive driving, at least not in Texas. I remember even back in the 80s you could rent the 6 hours' worth of VHS tapes from Blockbuster and mail in your quiz results to prove you watched them. But my understanding is that the state doesn't make any money off of the actual classes, which are all offered by private companies.

Did you do a bad thing, then Clodfobble? or you just fancied trying to improve your skills?

I got caught speeding, through a tiny town between here and Houston where the speed limit secretly drops to 55 for about a mile, then goes back to 70.

Of course, I would have been going above the limit even if the signs had stayed at 70...

When I worked for Dupont, everyone was required to take the course in the evening at a high school, or you couldn't drive on company time.

Don't most people take it for a discount on their auto insurance? I believe you only need take it every three years. Seems worth it to me.

Yeah, that's about how often I take it, but it's never been for insurance. :blush:
