The Pioneer of Defensive Driving Online and Online Traffic School

We didn't invent traffic school. We just perfected it.

What if you could protect your driving record without leaving home? How could traffic schools be more accessible? Steve Soldis asked himself these questions and forever changed traffic school for the masses.

Steve, CEO of Traffic School Online, received a ticket in 1996 on a Californian highway. To avoid points on his record and increased insurance rates, he opted for traffic school.

Steve found out the nearest traffic school was over 300 miles away. He was then committed to making the traffic ticket experience more convenient. He originated the idea of an online traffic school as an alternative to an in-person class.

Steve's idea gave drivers a new way to fight traffic tickets.
