Taking a course from a California defensive driving school is one of the best ways to improve your standing with your auto insurance company or to help with traffic school requirements because of a traffic ticket or citation.

Certification

Before choosing a defensive driving school, make sure that it is certified by the state of California.

SourcesDefensive driving classes are often offered through adult education programs or through your local community college. You can also find private defensive driving schools by checking your local yellow pages or business directory.

Online ClassesOne of the newest options is to take a defensive driving course online. California is one of the first states to allow online defensive driving classes, but if you decide to take an online class, make sure that your county is on the list of counties that approves of online classes for traffic tickets.

Older DriversOne of the best defensive driving courses in California is the defensive driving course offered by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Their defensive driving course helps older drivers to understand the natural changes that happen to most drivers as they age as well as to brush up on their driving knowledge and skills.

If you are considering taking a defensive driving course in California, make sure that it is certified by the state and offers you the benefits you are looking for in a driver safety course.
