Why Choose the DriveSafe Online Texas Defensive Driving Course?
The DriveSafe Online Texas Defensive Driving course is created with you in mind to meet your specific needs.
Dismiss a traffic ticket: If you receive a traffic ticket in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, or any city in Texas, you may be able to complete our defensive driving course to dismiss the ticket and avoid points added to your driving record. This option is for certain traffic violations and is often available on a court-by-court basis, so make sure you receive court approval to take our online course before registering.
Fulfill a court order: In some cases, a court may require you to take our TDLR-approved defensive driving course as part of a sentence or plea agreement. Completing the DriveSafe Online Texas Defensive Driving course allows you to fulfill this requirement from the comfort of your own home.
Lower your insurance rates: Completing our Texas defensive driving course may also qualify you for a discount on your auto insurance. Many insurance providers offer reduced rates for customers who complete a driver improvement course. You could save up to 10% on your annual premiums for three consecutive years. That could equal hundreds of dollars. Check with your insurance provider to see if they offer this discount and if you qualify.
Improve your driving skills: The DriveSafe Online Texas Defensive Driving course teaches you how to anticipate, identify, and avoid road hazards. After all, the best way to avoid tickets and skyrocketing spikes in your insurance premiums is to prevent accidents and poor driving behavior before they happen.

Complete the program on your own schedule from anywhere with an internet connection. Our course includes smart bookmarking so you can stop and start as often as you want without losing your progress.
