Due to VA court mandate I have to take a Safe Driver Course. Allowed to take in MD. Where?
The court told me that I can take the course in my own jurisdiction, but that online is not accepted. I have to find a local driver safety school (8 hr) to take to avoid the ticket I got on the way to OBX.
I took a look at hte MVA website but could not find what I need. Then I figured it was just easier to ask AWMA.
BTW- the guy before me in court was a VA resident in court for speeding. I don't know how fast he was going, but he was sentenced to 60 days jail with 56 days suspended and $1,000 fine. DOes this really mean the dude is going to jail for 4 days? Holy hell.

Ryan: I know these are Driving Schools, but I think they would offer Safe Driver Courses also.

Don't know. Said this in the original post. Brings up another point about this court I was in
The judge had all defendants/witnesses/troopers/etc come right up to his bench for each and every hearing. Basically it was a private conversation that you could barely hear at all and certainly you couldn't pick up on the details. I thought court was supposed to be totally open to the public. I've never seen anything like this. It was in Tappahannock, VA.
The other thing I found amusing is that the bailiff stood outside the courtroom as everyone filed in and pulled people aside who needed wardrobe corrections. I was dressed in proper attire in respect of the court, but various people were told to tuck their shirts in, remove hats, get rid of flip flops, etc.
