What's the Difference Between Traffic Schools and Driving Schools?
Theottis Asks: I am new to your country and I just moved to Redwood City in California... Can you tell me how a Traffic School is different from a Driving School?
Hello Theottis! Brilliant name you have, I've never heard it before and I just might steal it - I like the ring of Theottis Driving School! Anyschmoo - about your question. The difference between driving
schools and traffic schools is quite simple really. In general, Driving Schools provide driving instruction for new drivers whereas traffic schools provide traffic safety services for
adult drivers, namely adult drivers who need a traffic ticket dismissed. For example, read below about two of my favorite companies:
Drivers Ed Direct Driving School
-
Drivers Ed Direct is an example of a full service DRIVING SCHOOL. They are known throughout
California for two primary services: Online Drivers Education and Behind the Wheel Driving services. The majority of their customers are high school aged teenagers who want
their permit or drivers license. However, they also specialize in training adults how to drive as well as new drivers from other countries (just like yourself Theottis!) And
if you have any soon to be teen drivers, they have Redwood City drivers ed courses you can take online...nice!
TrafficSchool.com Traffic School
-
TrafficSchool.com is an example of a TRAFFIC SCHOOOL. They are known throughout the entire states
of California and Florida for providing online traffic school that allows drivers to clear traffic tickets from their driving record. They also provide defensive driving in Texas for
drivers who need the same traffic ticket erasing services. All of TrafficSchool.com's customers are drivers I would suspect, mostly
adults who got a speeding ticket or a similar minor traffic violation. And yes, they msot likely have Redwood City Traffic School classes you can take online :)
Hope that helps.
Until next time Theottis, drive safe in Redwood City, drive on the right side of the road, and welcome to the US!
