Funny Bone Schools of Defensive Driving

Very helpful and they answer all my tech questions. Thank you Bianca for all your support questions. you were a big help!

The staff is best and very friendly! Bianca was very helpful and was able to answer all my questions.

That was the most informative and funny 6 hours I’ve spent in «time out» in years. Mark was witty, fully engaged and kept all of us awake! I highly recommend Funny Bones for DD. You won’t be disappointed.

It was good. mark was entertaining. Also the 6 hrs was spent at Logan’s roadhouse, and a free meal was included with the class. Not the worst thing considering I had been at work for 8 hours prior. Anyways mark shared interesting stories and made the time not feel so long m.

This class was wonderful. The group was wonderful and the instructor was funny AND she cared about helping me. LaDonna Claud was the instructor and she was fantastic.
I can’t even imagine doing this online, that would be so boring relative to this. When it was over, I felt like it was time well spent.

I attended the Funny Bone Defensive Driving course in Round Rock on July 9^th. The purpose of my attendance was to reduce my car insurance premiums. The course was taught by Mark and he did a wonderful job. He used to be a police officer so that gave the class insight that they wouldn’t receive from other instructors without this experience. The time went by relatively fast (the course was from 9am to 3pm) and was both enjoyable and informative. The only thing I would change is the pizza we had for lunch from Austin Pizza — Domino’s would be a far better choice. John

In 2013 I took defensive driving with a company that shall remain nameless. The instructor appeared to know the material however he had no personality. As you can imagine this made the required 6 hours seem like forever. This year I again had to take defensive driving. Because of my past experience I searched for a better way. I’m happy to report I found it! I attended a class led by LaDonna with Funny Bone Schools of Defensive Driving. It was a painless, yet very educational experience. While the subject matter was serious, Ladonna’s personality and delivery made it fun. This resulted in the time zipping by! I have taken appropriate actions, such as slowing down and being more mindful of traffic signs, to avoid needing to take another course. However, should the need arise I’ll again be sitting in LaDonna’s Funny Bone Schools of Defensive Driving course.

They do a very good job of making the best out of something you don’t want to do. Mark, the instructor was enjoyable and kept attention through class very well. You’ll learn some things and you’ll be glad you went. Glad I did this instead of online. I’d go again… but hopefully no time soon!

Make sure you call these people IMMEDIATELT after you finish your class to once again provide the information you already provided when you signed up because they will wait 10 days to give you a call and tell you your certificate cannot be issued because they don’t have all they need. Also they will attempt to charge you for expedite delivery. The course was alright, dry and didn’t think funny at all but it’s my own fault I had to do it in the first place. The videos are dated but I guess the information is relevant or they wouldn’t be licensed.

From my husband:
Unfortunately, I have been to many Defensive Driving courses in my 25
years of driving, but this was one of the best I have ever attended.
The 6 hours FLEW by. The instructor was funny and knowledgeable (he was
a former Wilco and Austin police officer, so he had lots of great and
valuable insights). I would highly recommend Funny Bone to anyone
looking for a fun Defensive Driving class.

Took the Monday 9−3pm 6hr class. It did the job and got my dd out of the way. However, it wasn’t very funny, the ongoing political commentary was annoying, and the facilities were run-​down-​just-​this-​side-​of-​a-​gas-​station. He did keep my attention, though.
Could have been worse.

I attended the Sunday defensive driving class at the North location. The instructor was Matthew, who is a very nice guy, but not funny at all.
3 of the 6 hours were DVD videos. This was torture not only because of the content of the videos, but because the DVD skipped and stuck– often. Several times, the video stopped, and the instructor ejected the disk, wiped it on his pants, and put it back in, which sometimes fixed the problem. And sometimes did not.
The class was 12 – 6, and we had pizza at 3. No complaints there. Austin’s Pizza was fine.
If faced again with the choice of driving schools in the future, I will NOT return to Funny Bone.

Just came from a one-​day stint in defensive driving AKA detention for adults. The course was fine. I thought it was fitting that the interstitial entertainment was «Groundhog Day» on DVD. The instructor, Keith Kelly, was fairly humorous, although the misogynist and political jokes wore a bit thin. I skipped the free pizza (Austin’s Pizza) in favor of a more wholesome lunch from home.
Overall the course was fine, despite the uncomfortable chairs. My biggest complaint stems from a five-​minute spiel during the last hour of class. Seems the owner of Funny Bone also owns a Farmers Insurance office in Round Rock, so we had to sit through a five-​minute sales pitch for Farmers Insurance (if you switch to Farmers, we’ll give you the discount for taking this class!), which really bugged me.

Took the North Austin location class over 2 nights at 9401 Research Blvd.
They try their damndest to make the 6 hours bearable. They do not hammer you with stupid shit; your instructor is a professional comedian who is there to talk to you like an adult when it comes down to brass tacks. The first night’s instructor seemed like he felt he was in a comedy club, complete with meta-​analysis of how we received his jokes. The second night’s instructor was much more at ease with the class of 16.
Served good Austin Pizza, not some Domino’s or cheap-​ass bargain pie. However I was led to believe we would get pizza both nights, when in fact you only get food on the first night. Moral: if you split the class into 2 3-​hour sessions, eat dinner on the second night.
Recommended– I can think of worse ways to get your DSC out of the way.
