Default Favorite online traffic school?

Just paid $143 for my 80 in a 65 and got my front plate signed off(Now I'm legit!) and found out that online traffic school has FINALLY come to Alameda county! So obviously none will include pizza but, which ones are good and take the least amount of time?

I used onlinetrafficschool.com a few times already, not for me but my dad. Took the test online as well but that really depends on the county you got a ticket from and if they allow. Oh and it was a piece of cake, if i remember correctly i did it in less than or about 2 hours.

I took one that was incredibly long and frankly, wasn't worth it because I easily got distracted. It had a horrible connection, so the time between slides was very long and there was no way around it. Plus on top of this, you have to take an online test, then take a test in person and if you don't pass the 2nd test, then you fail and have to re-take it I think. IMHO, if you have a similar experience to mine, it's not worth the 8+ hours sitting in front of a computer. I'd just do it in person and see if I can meet cool people lol.

I took this one, but it was the only one authorized by Santa Clara County at the time:

http://www.onlinetrafficsafety.com/

The online portion took maybe 2 hours, and then I had to go to the local community college to take an in-person test. You're given 30 minutes for the test but it only takes about 10 minutes.

Overall I found the online traffic school process to be far less shitty than the traditional kind. Traditional traffic schools drive me to the brink of insanity, whereas the online kind you can crack a beer and click through it at leisure.

I forgot to mention you can retake all the quizzes and the final test as many times as you want until you pass.

i chose www.cheapeasyfast.com

its literally cheap, easy and fast. it took less than an hour to finish. there are 4 chapters of practice tests. i just skipped all the info and did the practice test through memory. then when the real quiz family came, it took around 6 minutes to finish.

i definitely recommend it to everyone on the board

You make me want to use that from now on haha. Is there a limit on how many times you can take the practice quiz and real quiz?
