I'm crying inside.

CLE looks better and better every day, even though where I'm from (not where I am now) it's gotta be similar, but I didn't think it was that good.

I didn't even think that was possible for a new car.
Updated my address on file and my wife's license from KS to OH and my premiums dropped to under $200 per 6 months :D

Comprehensive is down to $16.02 and collision down to $61.08 per 6 months.

If you are taking the course to get a discount on your insurance, before taking a course, you should call up your insurance company and find out how much you would save. I called and the amount I would save was less than the price of the course

The course is good for three years.

Its a course that can be done online that supposedly educates you and makes you a safer, more "defensive" driver, deeming you a lower risk and awarding you a mandatory 10% car insurance premium discount for the next three years.

I see that this course says no final exam, is there anything to stop someone from not paying any attention whatsoever?

Im actually doing it right now. Im doing work etc on computer so not paying too much attention (have two screens). I think itll take about 6 hours total, but you can break whenever you want and start another day.
There are three ways they make sure you are "paying attention". First they ask you some personal questions they asked at start, you must click in multiple choice. Second every so often they will randomly pop up a text box that you must type in a word. Third, and most annoyingly, after each frame you must hit continue, and the button is not clickable from between 0:15-3:15 depending on the frame. Also they have ~4 minor exams throughout the test but you have bigger issues if you can't pass them without paying any attention :)
