Our friend Joshua Nestor did some investigation on Texas defensive driving phenomenon. Not that Texas got all defensive and built a remake of Great Wall of China along its borders, But it's government and courts suddenly got all defensive about how bad the situation on the roads is, and decided to teach drivers to become defensive, too. I can't say I agree with their defensive approach, as their method seems to be yet another offensive money-making machine for the government, but looks like Texas defensive driving is here to stay, so I asked Joshua to take a look at it. He did an excellent job at it, and while I don't agree to everything what he says, I invite you to take a tactical moment to read his short essay on Texas defensive driving.

Misha, i just read your article and found it quite interesting.
I'm a web programmer, and I just finished developing an online comedy defensive driving course - comedydriving.com. The owner is one of the largest defensive driving schools in Houston. Within the first year of opening the online course they had over 24,000 students. I think that is pretty crazy numbers for the first year.
It just goes to show you what a good idea it was to begin with. But it also might show how crazy drivers are in Texas!

No worries, nomaid1
Yeah, it's getting bigger and bigger and becomes an industry by itself. However classrooms will not disappear - courts favor classroom training over online one, because you actually waste more time this way, and it delivers more inconvenience to you
