Road Rage Class Online

A road rage class is for drivers whose anger on the road got them into trouble, or almost did. A judge, probation officer or lawyer may ask for one after a case that started in traffic: a threat, a fight, damage to someone's car, or a heated stop.

This class may fit you if:

• Your paperwork says "road rage class," "aggressive driving class" or "anger management" after a driving incident.
• Your lawyer suggested a class before your court date.
• You want to stop yelling, tailgating or chasing other drivers when you get angry.

This is an anger management course. It is not traffic school, defensive driving, driver improvement or a DMV course. It teaches you how to handle anger. It does not teach traffic laws.

This course does not reduce points, dismiss a ticket, or satisfy a DMV-required course. It also does not change your insurance.

If a traffic court or the DMV told you to take a driving course, you need a course from their list, not this one. Ask the court clerk or the DMV which courses they accept.

Delaware and Florida drivers: in these states, aggressive driver courses are set by the DMV. If your order comes from there, check what it requires before you choose any class. If it names a DMV aggressive driver course, this course is not that course.

Each lesson is about one hour of reading, listening and short exercises, with a quiz at the end.

1. Understanding Anger Behind the Wheel: What It Is and What It Costs
2. Driving Triggers and Warning Signs
3. Cool Down at the Wheel: The Anger Meter and Safe Timeouts
4. Hot Thoughts on the Road: "He Did That on Purpose"
5. Road Rage and Online Conflict
6. Stress, Sleep, Substances, and Anger
7. Sharing the Road: Empathy and the Other Driver
8. Taking Responsibility and Building Your Safe Driving Plan

You start with what anger costs on the road: a crash, a charge, your license, your family in the back seat. Then you learn your own triggers, like running late, traffic jams, getting cut off or a slow driver. You learn the early signs too: a tight grip on the wheel, a rising speed. You practice a safe timeout at the wheel: back off, change lanes, or pull over somewhere safe, and never get out of the car to face another driver. Later lessons work on angry thoughts like "he did that on purpose" and on seeing the other driver as a person. You finish with a Safe Driving Plan you can use before every trip.

Some lessons include breathing practice. Do it only when parked. Never close your eyes while driving.

Take the number of hours on your paperwork. If it asks for more than 8 hours of anger management, look at our anger management classes instead.

• A timed study log. The timer counts active time only, like reading, listening and doing exercises. It stops when you walk away. Your hours are saved on our server. How the timer works →
• A quiz after each lesson and a final test that opens only after every lesson is done.

You get an enrollment letter when you start, a progress report for your officer, and a certificate of completion with a certificate ID and QR code. Your officer can check it at /verify with the certificate ID and your last name. The course works on your phone, and every lesson can be read to you with audio.

Your court or officer decides whether a certificate counts, not us. Ask three questions, by email if you can:

1. "Will you accept an online, self-paced anger management class focused on driving?"
2. "How many hours do you need?"
3. "Is this an anger management condition, or a traffic school, DMV or driving course condition?"

The last question matters most. Our page for probation officers explains how hours are logged and how to check a certificate. For more on who decides, read will a court accept an online class?
