Traffic School Online Founder Story

Founder Steve Soldis

Rewind. The year is 1996. Steve Soldis receives a speeding ticket while driving a stretch of California highway between Los Angeles and Sacramento County. Soldis, a California native, is given the option to take traffic school or suffer the high-priced insurance premiums that accompany a moving violation. Soldis, like millions of drivers in California, decides to attend traffic school.

That decision would forever change America's traffic school and defensive driving industry and the way drivers fight traffic tickets.

Steve Soldis discovers that the closest traffic school is over 300 miles away from his home in Northern California. To dismiss his traffic ticket, Steve would have to take time off from his busy schedule. Steve searches for an at-home alternative and discovers that no such at-home course exists.

So, Soldis creates one. He works with a team of professionals in the state of California to bring intuitive traffic school, driver improvement, defensive driving, and drivers education courses into the homes of drivers. The result is www.TrafficSchoolOnline.com - the first traffic school of its kind. The self-paced online course is designed to help drivers retain the information. Traffic school is no longer just a punishment for traffic violators. It's now an opportunity to learn, conveniently and effortlessly.

Fast forward to today. More than half-a-million satisfied drivers later, www.TrafficSchoolOnline.com has enabled drivers to complete the traffic school course on their own time from the comfort and convenience of their own home. No more traveling to an in-class traffic school. No more inconvenience. Thanks to Soldis, California was the first state of many in America to accept online traffic school. His company continues to work with legislators throughout the U.S. to create a nationally recognized program.

Currently the most popular courses Soldis' company offers are the following: California Traffic School, Florida Traffic School, Virginia Driver Improvement, Texas Defensive Driving, Arizona Defensive Driving, Nevada Traffic School, Oregon Driver Improvement, and even Alaska Defensive Driving. Now, the other hot course is www.DriversEdOnline.com.
