Defensive driving involves an advanced knowledge of driving, vehicle control and road conditions. The overall goal is to help improve the safety of drivers and other road users around them.

The main problem is that although many road users want to improve their driving skills, they don't have the time or the money to take a defensive driving course at their local traffic school.

However, in Texas these driving courses form a secondary attraction - They allow drivers to discharge tickets for certain road traffic violations such as speeding at the rate of up to one per year.

There are a number of defensive driving schools in Texas, many of which are available online. These courses cater for a number of different purposes in addition to ticket dismissal.
