Driving Safety Course?

Ok so i got a BS speeding ticket a month or so ago for going 75 in a 65 on 121. i was going the flow of traffic and i got hit with laser. and i know he pulled me over because i was in the evo. anyways i paid my fine but now i have to do this driving safety course. i forgot about it and i have to have in done by the 22nd. what the heck is this? is it a internet course or what. i have tried looking it up but i got like 20 different things. i know people get tickets on here and probably have done this before so what should i do?

My wife did this last year. She just took it online through AAA. It was extremely easy. It was about $40 bucks. Then she either took the certificate to the court or mailed it.

How did the cop catch you if you passed him ( I assume going the oppsite direction) if you were doing 140? In Ohio all you have to do is pay the ticket and that is it no BS driving course.

i got a ticket from a state trooper doing 126mph in a 65mph. i had to drive 3 hours just to show up at court and talk to the DA. it sucked but oh well.

the other ticket i got was 60mph in a 45mph on matlock and he was a DICK because he also gave me a ticket for not having a front liscnce plate. (motorcycle cop)

Well when I passed him I saw his car and I panic and slam on my brake and he saw me and follow me and he said his doing about a 100 and the look on his face is price less LOL

you take the test over the phone during the movie and then they send you your certificate and the LUCKy part about it is that it only takes about like 6 hours AND even if you do it the day beofre its due you can pay a little bit extra and have it overnighted to you GUARANTEED!!
