I did the same thing – late at night, lost in downtown San Diego, trying to get myself back on track to the airport. Have you ever been lost downtown after dark? Can’t see a damn thing or find a place to pull over and get directions – downtown is dead after dark.
Anyway I went to driving school and it was a total wasted day and I went to one called “Comedy” NOT! The teacher was rambling, obnoxious, boring, sarcastic, notfunny, honestly I would have found my time better spent picking up trash on the side of the freeway – or even on the freeway if I could have gotten out of that class.
This is what you do – in the list of driving schools there are online schools, but better yet, call and tell them that you can’t manage to attend driving school and you don’t have internet access and they will send you the “course” and you can complete it in around an hour or less according to my sister (I heard about this option after I attended the all-day class). The hard copy is better because you can just flip through the book whereas I hear that online you have to keep going back and doing whole sections over when you miss anything.
Or, I also heard that there are “gay” traffic schools and even though I’m not gay I bet that is a lot of fun.
The all-day class is like doing time – and hardly anything is said about traffic laws. I did learn that if you are turning right on a red light and there is a camera, you must stop for at least 3 seconds or you will get ticketed for running the red light.
