Cheap School

After being subjected to 12 hour driving school with these guys (I don’t care how many corny jokes are made) I found out from the insurance company the other day that I never had the point removed from my driving abstract!!! So basically I wasted my life away sitting in a 4 hour class and then the follow up 8 hour class for NOTHING!!! I have been overpaying for auto insurance ever since. Furthermore I had the luxury of paying for this delightful class that literally didn’t achieve its sole objective. I am beyond livid.

I had to attend traffic school to keep a small speeding ticket off of my record. Went online and found a school that fit my schedule. Seems that most of the traffic schools are owned by one company («Bruce Elkin’s» comedy, improv, «Cheap», etc). The CA DMV has very strict guidelines on exactly how many minutes, what content, etc must be taught. We even had a DMV monitor stop by to ensure that the curriculm was being exactly followed,
The instructor, Bill Kalagian, was very knowledgeable and able to guide us through some very boring, and dry material with the least amount of pain possible. Some videos and instruction matrials helped too.
All in all, for a day that I caused myself… this was as tolerable as it’s gonna get… and yes I’m bound to slow a bit…$ 500 for the ticket, $ 52.00 court processing fee, and the traffic school of $ 31.00. With the wallet so much lighter, the foot has to follow!
The school was taught at the Holiday Inn in La Mesa, CA.
