Defensive driving is a set of skills and techniques drivers can use to anticipate and avoid potential hazards on the road. In Texas, taking a defensive driving course can have various benefits, including ticket dismissal, insurance discounts, and improved driving skills.
A defensive driving course in Texas requires at least six hours (16 Tex. Admin. Code § 84.502). The six hours consist of at least five hours of instruction, one hour for breaks, and the minimum course content topics. Remember that enrollment procedures or other administrative tasks don’t count towards the time requirement.
This means you can complete the course in as little as one day if you choose!
