The Difference Between Defensive Driving and Driver’s Ed

Is defensive driving the same as Driver’s Ed? Is Driver’s Ed a defensive driving course? Well, you’ve come to the right place for definitive answers – because Comedy Defensive Driving is the original source of good material to keep you not only enlightened but entertained as well!

A Driver’s Education Course teaches new drivers how to drive. Pretty simple. A defensive driving class is a course for students who already know how to drive, but now learn how to drive defensively to not break the law and not cause any unnecessary accidents.

Getting your driver’s license and learning how to drive is an important rite of passage. Just ask Olivia Rodrigo, whose recent smash number one hit ‘Drivers License’ begins with the lyrics:

I got my driver’s license last week
Just like we always talked about
‘Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house

Now, if only Olivia Rodrigo was from Texas, she could be singing a follow-up single about defensive driving in Texas! This is because most auto insurers are willing to provide a discounted rate (roughly 10%) on your monthly premiums if you’ve completed a defensive driving course. When it comes to defensive driving in Texas, we recommend you choose Comedy Defensive Driving if you’re looking to steer clear of traffic violation penalties.

Defensive driving programs want to incentivize people who have their entry-level driver’s ed certification to become better drivers by learning to drive more responsibly, with greater awareness of your surrounding conditions and what the other drivers on the road are doing. Another incentive is to squash the points on your driver’s record if you happen to accumulate traffic fines or speeding tickets.

Of course, we strongly encourage you to choose Comedy Defensive Driving if you’re looking for a discounted rate on your auto insurance. And that’s when Comedy Defensive Driving will help you ‘unlearn’ some of the bad habits that may have crept into your driving since you passed your driver’s ed.

There’s an old saying that goes, “Everything in Texas is best” and while that’s true for most things – like choosing Comedy Defensive Driving if you’re looking for the best defensive driving School in Texas – it’s not necessarily true of other drivers on the road. Or indeed, perhaps where they learned how to drive. We like to joke that defensive driving in Texas is all about learning to drive on the road as if everyone else is driving drunk.

With our 100% online class that is taught to you by professional comedians at the top of their game, you will learn how to control your speed, how to look ahead and be ready for something unexpected to happen at any moment, and how to remain alert and free from distraction.

Comedy Defensive Driving will have you laughing while you learn about defensive driving in Texas. We have taught over 3 million students so far countrywide, and so we are confident that this is the best way to get the message across of learning how to drive defensively. So while the dangers of driving on our roads in Texas can sometimes be no joke, learning about it needn’t be.

The difference between having your driver’s license and knowing how to drive defensively in Texas is as plain as Comedy Defensive Driving’s comedy instructors being onstage in Texas with the audience lapping up our jokes, while other driving schools are waiting in the wings, clumsily taking notes so that they can learn from what we do. “Texas is the obsession” – and defensive driving in Texas is our obsession at Comedy Defensive Driving.
