Are you looking to find out how many owners the car had?  Or you're just looking to find out who the current owner is?

most people (newer cars) send the info in - in case of recall.

does anyone know of any get-arounds to get the certificate without actually sitting and watching the whole thing, or any other tips and ideas?

As far as I know there is no way around it unless you know someone who offers the class and is willing to just give you a certificate, but thats risky for them.

Naomi's Pizza on main street in KGH (queens) offers I believe once a month a "6 hour" course which is actually 45 minutes. Includes 2 slices and a coke for $29.95 IIRC.
If you have my email PLEASE don't PM me :)

I used idrivesafely.com
I have the questions and answers they ask as well.  Ultimately, they draw from a bank of questions, but these should cover a chunk.
You can even bargain with them on the price for the course.

I think I paid something like $25 or maybe even $19.95.  I used the online chat and you can just say you want to pay X.

I have 2 questions, not sure if this is the right forum, but I am sure someone will let me know if it is not:

1. What is the best credit card to pay my car insurance on?
2. Anyone know how to get discounts on car insurance, I have a corp discount with Geico, but I am still paying $1,145 every 6 months for a 2012 Honda Accord (includes comprehensive and collision). Anyone know where I can get a better deal?
