DOTS Traffic
School offers Internet Traffic
School throughout the State JULY 1, 2000-TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA:
Traffic violators in Florida can
now take traffic school entirely
from home via the magic of the
Internet, it was announced today.
DOTS Traffic School is
a Department of Highway Safety
and Motor Vehicles approved four
hour course that allows users
to complete traffic school from
the comfort of their own home
or office. "We are very excited about
offering drivers in Florida the
opportunity to complete our course
on the Internet. This program
allows those to take traffic school
who may have never been exposed
without an on-line program",
said Bob Proechel, President of
the company. The course works this way: Students
log on to the web site from their
home or office by utilizing unique
passwords they have chosen. The
program is broken down into seven
sections covering topics ranging
from alcohol and substance abuse
to defensive driving techniques.
Students are required to read
each section and answer associated
questions before advancing to
a final exam. After 80% of the
questions are correctly answered,
a completion certificate is generated
for the student from the corporate
offices. Proechel explained that security
was one of the State's main concerns
in approving this program. Consequently,
students are required to answer
an array of personal identification
questions before beginning the
program, in addition to verifying
under penalty of perjury that
they alone will be taking the
course. These identification questions
randomly pop up as they take the
course and must be answered correctly
within 120 seconds or it is presumed
someone else is taking the course
for them. An added feature to the program
prevents course completion in
under four hours. A student's
time on-line is tracked, and although
they can study as long as they
desire and do the program in sections
(over a period of many days or
weeks if they choose), they cannot
finish in less than four hours......just
like a traditional in-class traffic
school course. "Study at home options are
spreading throughout the country
in a number of fields. Traffic
safety on-line requires a student
to truly learn and participate
in the process, instead of mindlessly
sitting in a classroom. If you
don't read and comprehend, you
will not pass our program",
said Proechel. DOTS Traffic School
currently operates statewide and
