Why should I go to traffic school? |
| |
Sometimes you are ordered to attend traffic school by a court of law. Often, completion of one of our courses will remove a ticket — and the points that may be assessed as a result of it — from your official driving record. Other reasons to attend traffic school are: to become a more responsible driver; to fulfill part of the penalty for a drinking and driving infraction; to lower your chances of being involved in a collision; and to decrease your chances of getting a ticket. Some insurance companies even give discounts for the successful completion of a traffic school course.

How long will it take to get my completion certificate? |
| |
Your original completion certificate must be sent directly from our office to you. Normally this process can take anywhere from 5 - 10 business days, although you can select an expedited mailing process. Our staff can e-mail you a secure copy of your certificate for a small fee. You can also order a certificate copy to be mailed to you. (Note: in a few instances, some of our courses may have instructions that are slightly different from these. But, don't worry — clear, easy-to-follow instructions are provided when you sign up for the course. And if you ever have a question, we're here to help!)

Does the course cost anything? |
| |
Unfortunately, there is a small cost for traffic school courses. Tuition varies depending on the program in which you enroll, but it will always cover all of the elements of a course — including immediate access to the website (if appropriate) and the regular processing of Haines City Traffic School completion certificate; we never charge hidden certificate fees. Florida traffic schools are privately operated businesses; whether you sit in a class or choose an online program, you will need to pay a similar fee. The difference is, our courses are low cost, convenient, and fun! And we have the friendliest service and support in the industry!

Can I use someone else’s computer or Internet service for the online course? |
| |
That's one advantage to our Internet course! You can take the course from home, work, a friend's house, your local library, or you can even rent time on the Internet at a copy center or cyber cafe. All you need is any computer with Internet access. You can also start on your own computer and finish on another.

Must I complete a homestudy course in one sitting? |
| |
No, you may take as long as you want to finish our booklet, Internet, or video/DVD courses. You may do one section after another if you wish, but most of our students read at their leisure — maybe a section or two a day. Fit the course into your busy schedule — whatever works for you.

I just got knocked offline in the middle of an online session. What do I do now? |
| |
Internet users are occasionally knocked offline. This may result from a lost Internet connection, another call interrupting your dial-up connection if you are on a single line with call waiting, or simply because your own computer crashes. Remember, as you complete each section of the course, your progress is logged. Being knocked offline will only bring you back to the start of the current chapter; it will not delete the previous chapter(s). Our website is unable to control your Internet connection, and inactivity on your part will not result in our system knocking you offline. However, your Internet service provider may have activity requirements.

I use AOL and I keep getting knocked offline. What should I do? |
| |
If AOL is your Internet service provider, you will have activity requirements while online. Some of the longer sections require more reading and there is a chance AOL will knock you offline because of inactivity. Do not leave the screen alone for any great length of time — remain interactive with the software. Or, if you are afraid you'll have problems online, our booklet or video/DVD courses might be great options for you.
