Comedy Safe Driver is fully approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), and our course is accepted by many courts throughout Odessa and West Texas.
Why Odessa Drivers Take Defensive Driving
Odessa traffic can be busy and unpredictable due to commuter routes, oilfield traffic, and high-volume roadways like TX-191, I-20, Grandview Avenue, West County Road, and University Boulevard. Defensive driving helps reduce risks and provides important legal and financial benefits.
Drivers in Odessa often take defensive driving to:
- ✔ Dismiss an eligible traffic ticket (with court approval)
- ✔ Avoid points on their Texas driving record
- ✔ Qualify for auto insurance discounts
- ✔ Refresh their driving skills for safer travel

After receiving approval:
