Outside of different settings, there is no difference between an on line defensive driving course and a classroom defensive driving class. The curriculums are the same, focusing on defensive driving tips and techniques. And both options, provided they are court- or state-approved, will, if allowed, help remove a traffic ticket from your driving record or reduce a speeding ticket penalty. 

There are some differences behind the scenes in terms of getting sanctioned. In California, for instance, classroom traffic schools must be approved the DMV, while online courses must be approved by the court.   

The beauty of an online traffic school is that it provides flexibility, conveniently conforming to your schedule. You can complete the course in one sitting (usually six to eight hours) or take 16 days if you so choose. Plus, you can study anywhere you have access to a computer, public or private. And in the case of an online traffic school, you never have to worry about getting assigned a boring instructor. Online courses employ videos, high-tech visuals and lively graphics, making the experience as enjoyable as possible.
