Boston court only gave me 30 days
The Boston court told me I have 30 days to complete the defensive driving course. Can I finish it that fast?
Hello Ryan, Yes — the online course can be completed well inside 30 days; most students finish in 1 to 3 sittings totaling 4-8 hours, depending on the state course length. To stay ahead of the deadline: - Enroll as soon as possible — the clock starts on the day the court ordered completion - Track your progress in the dashboard - Allow 1-2 business days for the certificate to post to the Suffolk County court after passing If you need a few extra days, ask the clerk for an extension before the deadline rather than after — most courts are flexible if you call early.
