Sunny Day Defensive Driving

FAQ

When do I receive my defensive driving certificate?

Your certificate is mailed to you after you successfully complete the class.  You should expect to receive your certificate in the mail in about 10-12 days from the day you complete the class.  This is the average amount of time it takes to receive a certificate.  Please know that it can take up to 21 days from the day you take the class to receive your certificate.

Are you licensed?

Yes, we are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to offer defensive driving classes to dismiss your Texas traffic ticket and/or to get you a discount on your car insurance premium. You can check the TDLR’s website here to verify our license.

If you received a traffic ticket in another state like New Mexico, or Arizona you will need to check with the court first to see if you can take a Texas defensive driving class to satisfy their defensive driving requirement.  We are only licensed for Texas.  To the best of our knowledge there are no other in-person local defensive driving schools that are licensed for any other state than Texas.

Based on our past experience, courts in other states do sometimes allow a driver to complete a Texas based defensive driving course to meet the defensive driving requirement, but again, you should check with the court prior to taking our class.

If the court doesn’t allow you to take a Texas defensive driving class you’re going to have to end up taking the class in that state, or online.  Click here to take an online defensive driving course with our affiliate, IDriveSafelyIDriveSafely offers the most online courses, with the most options, in the most states.

Do I need a driving record, where do I get it?

Most of the time you will need a driving record if you have been allowed to take a defensive driving class to dismiss your traffic ticket. To confirm you can read your court paperwork, or check with the court directly.

You can order your driving record by clicking here!

I got a ticket in another state, can I take your class to dismiss it?

Maybe.  Based on our past experience, courts in other states do sometimes allow a driver to complete a Texas based defensive driving course to meet the defensive driving requirement, but you should check with the court prior to taking our class.

If the court doesn’t allow you to take a Texas defensive driving class you’re going to have to end up taking the class in that state, or online.  Click here to take an online defensive driving course with our affiliate, IDriveSafelyIDriveSafely offers the most online courses, with the most options, in the most states.

What if I don’t have a driver’s license, or mine is suspended; can I still take the class?

Yes.  If your license is suspended, or expired that’s okay, please bring it with you.  If you don’t have a license please bring any type of picture ID with you so that we can verify your identity.
