8-hour aggressive driving course Took my court-ordered in-class course on a Saturday with nations traffic after another company failed to have their instructor show up. It cost little extra but it was definitely worth it. The instructor, Ricky I believe, was highly knowledgeable and extremely informative. Not a boring instructor at all. Keeps you entertained with facts and history as well with giving frequent breaks every hour.
He provided donuts and coffee as well as bottled water. Also located in a great location (shopping plaza)with plenty options for food on your hour lunch break. Highly recommend over any other traffic school.

Excellent choice of traffic schools and hands down the #1 recommended in my book! This was not my 1st class, but fortunately I was given the opportunity to complete the 12 hour ADI with Rick. He welcomes you from the very beginning, offering donuts, coffee and water throughout the entirety of the course. To my surprise, both 6 hour days went by quick.
The instructor not only made it fun and kept your attention, but he was also extremely also knowledgeable and informative. I learned a lot in this course about myself as well as the rules and regulations of driving. I appreciate the opportunity and education that this class gave me and suggest this school for anyone in need of taking a 4 hour, 8 hour or 12 hour course!

I, am so glad i took my course at Nations I had two classes to do a 12 hour and an 8 hour. Both of the instructors were amazing they had lots of useful information, they made the time fun and as painless as possible. If you have a court ordered class to do or just want to lower your insurance rates this is the place to come to get through it as easy as possible. Thank you Nations Traffic School! A special shout out to Jim Smith and Rick Adams they are amazing!

I'm giving this driving school a solid 5 stars! The instructor Rick was absolutely amazing! The most interesting and intelligent instructor I have ever come across. Most of us hate the idea of taking a traffic school course (usually because it was court mandated.) Rick was able to make the class fly by and it was enjoyable, keeping every student engaged.
Our class had an age range from 17 years old to 65 and every student was able to communicate and actively participate in group discussion. I would definitely recommend this class to any driver and wish there was funding to send Rick into high schools to teach this course!

Aise from the fact I had tobwake up early on saturday and spend the whole day in a Manditory class...I actually didnt mind it to much. Care I say I enoyed myself? Leonor is so awesome. She made class as fun as possible and time flew by. We learned about how the point system worked, how to protect yourself, and the best options for you of you do get a tickets.
You can defiantly tell she loves teaching because she was able to tie all the information into life. She made it about more than stupid traffic rules. We talked about life stressors and how they effect us, how the tiniest choices we make ripple out into the world... Kinda reminded me of an ethics/psych101 course in a fun way. Hopefully I dont have to go through all of this again, but if I do, Leonor is definitely who I am coming back to!!!
