And that’s why you’ve chosen to look into traffic violator school, and good for you! Taking traffic school is way better than curtailing your weekend spending to make up for higher insurance premiums. And taking traffic school online? Well, that’s way better than spending eight hours of your Saturday in a classroom across town with a gaggle of other bored traffic violators. But the task of deciding which of the hundreds of online traffic schools to choose can be daunting, and that’s why we’re here. My Dog Traffic School is just one of many online traffic schools in California, and here’s how they stack up.

Features of My Dog Traffic School

 

This course is designed for dog lovers and features an “innovative dog theme.” Now, we all love our dogs dearly, but do we really need a traffic school dedicated to us? Maybe the course reads like P. D. Eastman’s Go, Dog, Go! : “Some big dogs and some little dogs going around in cars…Go, dogs, go! Stop, dogs! Stop!” According to the home page, the course costs “from $16.95.” The first thing you have to do is select your state from a drop-down menu of all 50 states, which is set to display “California” instead of “Alabama.” Because the reality is, My Dog Traffic School is only available in California. If you select any of the other states, the county drop-down menu says, “None available.” No matter what county or court you select, the price for My Dog Traffic School is $24.95. Nowhere is there a price of $16.95. These dogs appear to be pulling the old bait & switch, and if that’s the case, that’s pawsatively unacceptable. Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

 

But let’s just throw them a bone, give them the benefit of the doubt, and agree to their price of $24.95. Simply click on “continue,” and you’re taken to the Course Agreement, which they instruct you to read carefully. Here’s some of the information you’ll find in the Agreement: “You must notify My Dog Traffic School by email if you believe your credit card was charged multiple times for the same charge.” Um, okay, it’s doubtful that I wouldn’t do that, but thanks for the heads up. “In order to keep costs low, all course communication is by email. If My Dog Traffic School does not have a current working electronic mail address, you will not receive important information. If you don’t receive important emails from My Dog Traffic School, you are responsible for any consequences that may result.” Wait. All course communication is by email? There’s no live customer service? That’s for the dogs. “You agree that any dispute between My Dog Traffic School and you will be resolved in the Superior Courts of Orange County, California, which shall have jurisdiction, providing that the court selected shall have jurisdiction of the subject matter of the action and of the Parties. You agree that the Superior Court of Orange County, California will have personal jurisdiction over you, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Orange County, California. In the case of any dispute, you will also be liable for the value of My Dog Traffic School’s administrative time, which will be billed at $75 per hour spent collecting money you owe My Dog Traffic School.” Jeez, call off the dogs! It’s just online traffic school! It’s only $16.95 $24.95! Is there a reason you’re so concerned with dispute arbitration? Oh, right: “My Dog Traffic School cannot guarantee and does not represent or warrant that its web site will be error-free or virus free… My Dog Traffic School makes no express or implied warranty for the accuracy of any information on its web site, or how you use that information. My Dog Traffic School provides its web site and the content on that site without any warranty as to its reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose.” So if I take your course and the information provided in the course is inaccurate and unreliable, causing me to fail the test and miss my deadline for completion, resulting in a point on my license and an increase in my insurance rates, I’ll have to sue you through the Superior Court of Orange County to get my $16.95 $24.95 refunded, because it’s a dog-eat-dog world and you told me up front that you’re in no way implying that your traffic course is reliable or accurate, or that my computer won’t fall apart from a virus it got from your site. Got it. Thanks! And here! Just for fun, read this one aloud three times: “Any question of ambiguous or vague interpretation of this agreement cannot be resolved using any rule of interpretation resulting in interpretation against the drafting party to the agreement.” What does that even mean? Maybe My Dog Traffic School should let sleeping dogs lie, and stick all of this in the fine print that no one actually reads, instead of putting it all front and center, where it’s sure to send potential students away with their tails between their legs.

How it Works

If you were to choose this course, which we hope you don’t, even if you’re a dog fanatic, you would sign up for the course, pay your $16.95 $24.95 fee, and hope you don’t get charged more than once. Then you would take the course, which may or may not be accurate and reliable, take (and hopefully pass) the final test, and get your completion certificate directly transmitted to the DMV and court by the school.

What We Like About My Dog Traffic School

We like that My Dog Traffic School is only one of the hundreds of online traffic schools – the vast majority of which don’t convolute something as simple and straightforward as an online traffic violator course and turn it into a doggone prenuptial contract.

What We Don’t Like About My Dog Traffic School

We don’t like the fancy footwork My Dog Traffic School makes you do just so that you can find out that the course costs $24.95, when they imply that there are some instances in which it will cost $16.95, which there aren’t. The course is $24.95, and it probably always has been. We also don’t like the barking mad legalese and that aside from said legalese, there’s precious little information about the actual course. Are there timers? Can they expedite certificate transmission if you waited until the last minute? Can you take the course on your mobile devices? Nobody knows! All we really know is that any question of ambiguous or vague interpretation of My Dog Traffic School’s agreement cannot be resolved using any rule of interpretation resulting in interpretation against the drafting party to the agreement.
