I am an Offensive Driver

Which is why I am taking a defensive driving course. Somebody in this city thinks that I need to slow down. Therefore, they force me into taking the course online for the speeding ticket that I recently received.

In taking this online course, they have a couple of outright misconceptions:

#1:
"Your decision, willingness and effort to participate in this course give you an opportunity to learn to drive more alertly, efficiently, and safely."

No, this decision was not one out of willingness. And thank you for the opportunity, but I am still busy being bitter about being a bad driver. (But I ball at alliteration.)

#2:
"As you start this course, you probably consider yourself to be a very good driver. Then recently, and very unexpectedly, you were issued a citation by a law enforcement official. Many good drivers receive citations and are also involved in crashes."

I know I'm not a good driver. I am a pretty good parker, but I am not a great driver. But I know this. I accept this. Therefor I am not going to be all high and mighty when given a ticket. At no time is it unexpected...

Yes, so the class has to be a minimum of 6 hours or something like that. So they have timed it so that you have to stay on each page for a minimum amount of time. But it isn't a decent amount of time where you could just walk away from your computer, it is done in like :20 increments so you have to be attentive. Fucking DPS.

The name of the site is idrivesafely.com. Which I find kind of funny because if you are visiting this site for it's intended purpose (to rid your driving records of a ticket) that is a bit of a false statement. Not only are you not a safe driver. You are pretty much the opposite. I think it would be more effective if the person had to type in: idonotdrivesafely.com. That way there is at least some truth in the statement.

Anyhoo, back to the riveting information.

Fun Fact: Did you know that alcohol related incidents are only #3 in reasons for vehicular fatalities?
