How it works
Our Abilene defensive driving course gives drivers in Abilene and the Big Country region a simple, TDLR-approved way to dismiss tickets and qualify for insurance discounts. Comedy Safe Driver’s online course is approved by the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation and is accepted by many courts in Abilene and surrounding West Texas communities.
Why Abilene Drivers Take Defensive Driving
Abilene drivers share the roads with commuters, college students, military traffic, and commercial vehicles along I-20, US-83/84, Southwest Drive, South First Street, North First Street, Judge Ely Boulevard, and Buffalo Gap Road. With changing speed zones and busy intersections, even careful drivers can end up with a ticket. A Texas defensive driving course can help you:
- ✔ Dismiss an eligible Texas traffic ticket (with court approval)
- ✔ Keep a conviction off your driving record
- ✔ Qualify for an auto insurance discount
- ✔ Refresh safe driving skills for Abilene and West Texas roads
Because our course is 100% online, you can finish it from home, at work, or on the go—whenever it fits your schedule.
How Ticket Dismissal Works in Abilene
Most tickets in Abilene are handled by the Abilene Municipal Court or Taylor County Justice of the Peace courts. Before you take defensive driving for ticket dismissal, you must first request permission from the court listed on your citation.
Once your court approves you, your steps are simple:
- Enroll in our Texas Defensive Driving course.
- Complete the six-hour course online at your own pace.
- Receive your completion certificate (and driving record if required).
- Submit your paperwork to the court before your deadline.
