Easy to register and complete the course. I liked the fact there were test questions after each section to test your learning as you progressed. The final assessment was open book and you could use the material to answer questions if you needed a refresher. I hope not to take another traffic school course soon. If I do, I'll register for Best Online Traffic School. read more

I found this online traffic school to be easy to sign-up for and instructions and what you were getting for their fee was clear and detailed. As soon as I started the course, I found it to be very informative and I learned a few new things too as laws change every year. Upon completion of the course, it was easy to complete and also get a copy of my "certificate of completion." I would recommend this school to anybody who does well with online classes and needs to complete it to get their ticket taken care of. read more

I had never received a traffic violation until last year. I was stressed out having to find a traffic school to satisfy the violation. After doing some extensive research, I found this online school on the court provided list & was pleased with its Yelp reviews. You don't pay until you pass the final exam of the course. Going through the entire course, which consisted of 12 lessons, took me about two weeks. I read a chapter a day with no pressure during the evenings after all chores for the day were done. You pass a quiz at each chapter before you are allowed to move onto the next chapter. The final exam is open book so plenty of opportunity to look up your answers. I only missed one question because I didn't read it carefully, other would have gotten 100% in the first attempt. You get two attempts at the final exam. Great course! Highly recommended. read more

Ask the Community - Best Online Traffic School

How many times can you take the final exam in your course? Can you take it unlimited times until you pass?

By law you can only take the final exam twice. However it is open book. Since you only pay for our course after you pass, if you happen to fail twice you can sign up at no cost and retake it

View question details

Can I sign up and complete the course before paying the bail amount?

You have to be authorized by the court to attend - to which they will send you a letter stating your options for your infraction- traffic school is not automatic

Does the Traffic School Date of Completion reflect the date you passed the exam or the date you paid for the certification if you passed the free final exam before the speeding ticket comes in your mailbox?

It reflects the date you pay for the course. You should get approved to do traffic school before paying us to avoid any issues with the court.

How long to complete the test and notify the court?

It took an hour to complete and they notified the court in 24 hrs , excellent service 👍

How long does it take to complete the class?

It took me 45 minutes Highly recommended......

TIP#1: Make sure you are eligible for traffic school before signing up! At the comfort of your own home (or during my down time at work in my case), you read through about 10-12 articles talking about traffic rules. At the end of each article, there is a mini test of 3 simple questions each. At the very end, you have 2 chances to take the final test. You must answer at least 18 out of 25 questions correctly to pass. Otherwise, you will have to sign up for traffic school again elsewhere. TIP#2: It is not timed and open book, so if you're unsure of a question, google it! Once you have completed and passed the test, Fast Lane Traffic School will automatically electronically submit your Certificate of Completion to the DMV and Court.

Instructor Edward Wu is a very cool and professional guy. He made me feel confident behind the wheel in just about every daily driving situation. You can often hear him telling you "No worries." Edward was also prompt to pick me up from home at the appointment time. Minus one star because like Helen D. mentioned in a previous review, he can be impatient at times. In my case, he wanted me to promptly take off from a stop sign as soon as I can to a stop (assuming it was clear, of course). Other than this minor incident, I would highly recommend Unical Driving School.

SHORT VERSION: If you wish to pass the driving test, I'd recommend Viva driving school in Pasadena…read more They will teach you everything you need to know about what the DMV will expect. If you wish for a cheap driving school, this school will do $60 per 2-hr session but you won't learn as much and you will probably get a lot of errors during the driving test. LONG VERSION: The overview of my scenario: I took two 2-hour driving sessions with 'Unical Driving School' and a 1-hour driving session + DMV servicing with another school called 'Viva Driving School'. 4 NOV 2013: Called to schedule my appointment, and the receptionist who I talked to wasn't rude, but didn't explain to me much about their programs either. All she said was "$60 for 2 hours". I made an appointment anyway because it was VERY cheap compared to other schools. 6 NOV 2013: It was the day of my appointment. The instructor was supposed to be here at 1:45pm, but he (Edward Wu) came 10 minutes late. He was very nice, so I decided not to mark him for being late. I told him it was my first time driving, so he drove around for 15 minutes, but he didn't really teach me anything while he was driving. It was my turn to drive, and I did "pretty well for a first time driver" (in the words of Mr. Wu). We drove around Monterey Park, and occasionally, he would tell me to slow down when no cars were around, and then tell me to speed up when cars started to line up behind me. It got pretty annoying. Occasionally, he would go on his phone and not really pay attention to how I was driving. At the end of the lesson, he wanted me to schedule another appointment, and I did it (which I knew I would regret) because I felt like I didn't really learn anything. 7 NOV 2013: This time, he was 20 minutes late... minus one star. He taught me how to change lanes, which was great, but he did the same thing as he did yesterday (telling me to slow down and speed up)... minus another star. That's all he taught me for that day... Same thing as yesterday, he was on his cellphone, plus, he would occasionally yawn. He wanted me to schedule another appointment, and that's when I felt that he was doing that on purpose to make more money. 12 NOV 2013: This was the day I had my DMV driving test. I decided to try 'Viva Driving School' in Pasadena because they had a special package where they do DMV Servicing (they take you to the DMV at the day of your test, and let you use their car to take the test) plus a 1-hr driving session prior to the test. They taught me a lot about what was expected on the test, things that weren't discussed from 'Unical Driving School'... minus TWO stars. I learned WAY more in 1 hour with 'Viva Driving School' than I did in 4 hours with this school.

Now the reason I am updating is that honestly my family cannot let it go that Robert hit me. Sure it was nothing painful but he cannot hit a student especially when I was 17 at the time. Now I will tell you what I did while driving Robert's car :) Disclaimer: I was 17 and this was 5 years ago, so I think that is past the statute of limitations. I knew Robert was bad and my mom was insisting that I tried him regardless of his 2-star business. My mom assumed United driving school was the driving school she took, but she wasn't sure. I read my mom all those past reviews and honestly she thought I was complaining to complain. I tried to think positive and maybe I could enjoy it or be on his good side. I was dead wrong when I drove a mile in Robert's car. Robert really likes to slam the teacher brakes and honestly it scares me every time and sometimes the drivers behind us too. I knew that Robert was notorious for pulling you over to review or lecture you. I found that was a time filler so you could spend more money, so instead of listening to him I thought of how to irritate him. First thing I did was question what would happen if I crashed his car? So all driving instructors have insurance obviously and brakes on the passenger side and I wondered what was stronger the gas pedal or his brakes? How good are Robert's reflexes? So, every time Robert braked, I floored it. Robert hit me after that and told me to pull over, which I didn't. In addition to accelerating, I also intentionally braked hard on stop signs. Next, he told me to go home and he couldn't teach me, so on almost every right turn, I went 40 mph so that I can give him a mini heart attack. He screamed every time. When I got home he lectured me and I ignored every word then when he asked me to pay him more than his rate of $60. I just threw the $60, left the car and slammed his door with the seatbelt on the frame of the door and went home. Roger kept ringing the doorbell and I told my mom he hit me. My mom ignored his constant ringing and then she called United Driving School office to yell at the secretary and said she will never come back. Looking back, I knew my actions were disrespectful and I could have hurt Robert or myself. But honestly, Roger was such a terrible human being and the other yelp reviews kind of justify my actions, but not really. My mom and dad still hate him

Do. Not. Want. Years…read moreago as a young lad, I used them to get the hours I needed for my drivers license. They assigned me an old Asian guy who always wore huge sunglasses and bragged that he was a former DMV tester and he was the best. Okay cool. The guy would have me pull over and start explaining things with pen and paper. Very slowly. Was he just slow and careful or was he dragging out the time? Hmmm. Then he would do the exact same thing my next lesson. Literally exact. As in, explain the same thing he explained last week. So does that mean I should just give you the same check I gave you last week since you taught me nothing new? He would then have me drive to places and he'd get out and buy a drink. Normally not a problem since I'm still learning how to drive, except he literally took 20 minutes to get his drink. I guess that's not as bad as him FALLING ASLEEP though. That's right, he fell asleep at LEAST 3 times while I was driving. And not just a nod either, but full on eyes closed asleep (is that what the sunglasses are for?). Now this was when I was a spineless teenager and didn't learn to speak up for myself. But if I was in this situation again, you bet I would've fired him on the spot. In the end, I got the hours I needed for my license, but learned almost nothing useful from him. Skip this place. Please. For your own good.

Our son Fraser started at Enchanted Castle at 18 months and just turned two. The transition was…read moretough during that first week; he cried constantly from drop-off until lunch, and we had to pick him up before nap time. Fast forward to today.. he feels so safe and at home - he is definitely thriving! Fraser has a very strong personality, and we love how patient the staff is and how the Montessori way allows him to channel it positively. We absolutely adore his teachers (Ms. Nhi, Ms. Veronica, Ms. Wen, and Ms. Cat) + a special shout-out to Ms. M, who spoils him with so much love! What really stands out is that all the teachers at the school seem genuinely happy and know Fraser personally. The director, Ms. Prima, is super on top of everything and fosters a great relationship with all the families and staff. I truly appreciate the extra thought and care she puts into the school. If you want a place where your child will be safe, known, and nurtured, we highly recommend this amazing team!

My child transferred to this preschool because of the Eaton Fire. One of the main reasons we chose…read morethis school was that it is much more than a regular daycare -- it offers a trilingual learning environment with reasonable price. Even though my child is in the English program, he also takes Chinese and Spanish classes. Friends of mine from other cities and states often see the school activities I share/post and tell me how envious they are that we have access to such an amazing preschool. My child has learned so much here, especially in STEM-related subjects. His life skills, independence, and hands-on abilities have improved tremendously. The school also provides a wide variety of enriching activities, including science fairs, carnivals, puppet shows, bubble shows, and animal petting events where the children can ride ponies and interact with rabbits and other animals. The school also hosts special Mother's Day and Father's Day breakfast events that make families feel very involved and welcomed. Every year, the winter and spring performances are what I look forward to the most. It is truly impressive to see a group of 4-year-olds confidently perform three English songs, one Chinese song, one Spanish song, and even a dance routine on stage. The children always look so confident and joyful. This year, my child will be graduating, and I am incredibly grateful to Ms. Joanna and Ms. Regina. They are warm, energetic, patient, and genuinely caring teachers. The classroom environment they create is loving and harmonious, and the children are kind and supportive toward one another. We will always appreciate the wonderful experience our child had here.

Since working with her, their confidence has grown tremendously.. not only in the pool, but outside of it as well! Dexter has such a gentle, patient, and encouraging teaching style that immediately made my girls feel safe and comfortable. What once felt intimidating to them has become something they genuinely look forward to each week. Their skills have improved so much, but even more importantly, their love for swimming has blossomed! We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Dexter has had on both of our daughters. She has created a supportive environment where they feel confident, capable, and excited to learn. I highly recommend Dexter to any parent looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and wonderful swim instructor!

The beautiful growth and development of my children has been in large part of the staff and families of Kids Zone. Every single teacher treats your child like their own.

I was looking for private adult swimming lessons and contacted Swimphi through the contact form on…read moretheir website. I got a call back within a day and was able to schedule lessons that same week, which I really appreciated! I love how they have all the information clearly laid out on the website so I know what to expect when I get there (even directions with pictures on how to get from parking lot to the pool, which was super neat)! I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to swimming but my coach made sure I felt comfortable and safe in the water. My coach brought all the equipment needed for the lesson so it's super hassle-free. I was initially intimidated by the deeper end of the pool but my coach has always been very patient and encouraging and stayed right next to me the whole time to make sure I'm safe. I mentioned I was preparing for an upcoming trip since it will involve a lot of water activities and my coach really catered the lessons to my needs. I genuinely appreciate how patient my coach is, if I don't get a particular technique right away, we would try different variations and my coach would always remind me of the key points to remember. In the Pasadena location, it's an indoor pool that's heated and there are changing rooms available. Onsite parking in the lot is another plus! Highly recommend Swimphi to anyone looking for adult (or kids) swimming lessons in Pasadena!

We must have spent $1000+ but it did not work. 5yr old spent her lessons screaming and crying. It got very stressful and traumatic for ME! We also kept switching teachers at Waterworks...some were just not as good with kids. I've come to conclusion that places like Waterworks has a business model to keep you paying for lessons not necessarily getting your kids watersafe. Then we heard about Grace on the Irvine Mom Facebook board. I told her @ my 5 yr old. Immediately she CUSTOMIZED her teaching method and brought in toys. She is always smiling and calm with my daughters. And this is key with my 5 yr old who hated the pool. Grace also ask parents what the focus should be- swim safe or technique. Net net in just 2 months of private lessons- both girls love and ask to go to the pool. My 7 yr old can swim around by herself and my 5 yr old is no longer afraid. Plus Grace is super responsive with text & email, flexible with schedule changes. Other places are not. Only downside is I wish Grace had more Irvine hours. She splits her time her and San Gabriel Valley. I will definitely resume lessons with her the coming Spring.
