A successful entrepreneur shares her thoughts on business success and failure.

I Passed!


Today, I remembered I still needed to take traffic school for the speeding ticket I’d gotten a little while ago. The docket for traffic school included a list of online traffic schools, so I selected TrafficSchool4Less.com. For $17.95, they promised I could get a traffic school completion.

I paid my dues and went into the web site. Much to my disappointment, I found I had to read 99 pages of information and complete 10 quizzes to pass the test. I griped about this to a friend over IM, and he said “I’d just cut-and-paste the text and search it when running through the questions.”

Duh! Why didn’t I think of that?! So I copied every page into Microsoft Word (which helpfully copies all of the pictures and formatting as well.) After I copied each section, I cruised through the section test, finding each answer I didn’t know in my handy Word document. An hour later, I was done. I passed the final quiz with flying colors — a score of 96%!

I have to wait a week or so to get the certificate in the mail, and then I’ll send it in. I’ll say one thing — this was 1000 times better than going to an 8-hour class. If any of you get speeding tickets in California, this is the way to go! ๐Ÿ™‚
