I attended Ms. LaDonna's class at the Logan's in Round Rock and I actually enjoyed it! None of us are ever "eager" to attend a defensive driving course, but she does a great job keeping everyone engaged. The 6 hour course did not feel like a drag. Expect to receive information through Improv comedy, playing hangman, and going through her "shopping list". I would recommend attending one of her classes! Read Less

LaDonna was an amazing instructor! She kept me intrigued for the whole six hour course and made it go by so fast! She was very informative about many aspects of driving that I had not ever thought about before. Definitely take defensive driving at Funny Bone with LaDonna! Read Less

I took the online version of this course. I absolutely loved it. The content is hard to adjust so that it keeps you alert, but this comedic host keeps your attention always! The films are informational and the course seems shorter than it actually is! Read Less

LaDonna Claude made the class great and go by fast and gets us involved in the class and let's us share our stories. We talk about actual driving experiences that happen to us here in Austin Area and explains what maneuvers are legal and illegal. Lunch is great while watching 2 Fast 2 Furious then she starts class after lunch. Read Less

I took the online class and it certainly wasn't funny as advertised.  The course was long (well, no longer than it had to be by law but extremely un-funny) and rather outdated. Many of the new laws are notated above each video, but I would not take the online version of this class again.  Not even corny funny. They have a young girl who tries to be funny but it's just not working for her or them. :)   The material was good and they covered what they needed to, you'll be ok as far as requirements by Texas law, but look for a more updated, newer course.They also spell brakes all the way through the test as 'breaks'.  Now THAT'S funny.

I wanted to go to a classroom setting and get it done and over with, but can't because of other Saturday obligations, so I was going to take their online class.  That is until I saw that they are ripping people off by trying to get them to order their driving record through their website for "Only $22.95".  They tout "Order your Texas Driving Record through us and Save Yourself a Trip to the DPS Office!"  What they don't tell you is that you can't get your driving record by going to the DPS office even if you wanted to! You can print it out from the DPS website instantly for $12, or request it by mail for $10. So they are charging you $11-$13 more to reenter the same information on the DPS website that you entered on theirs.  I hate businesses that take advantage of people like that. Read Less

I just got done taking my defensive driving class with Funny Bone Driving School.  The instructor was LaDonna Claude. She made everyone feel comfortable and was very funny. I loved how down to earth she is. I would recommend this class and LaDonna as the instructor for anyone. Thank you so very much!! Read Less

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. Read Less

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. Read Less

This funnybone was at Texas Land & Cattle.  And it was taught by LaDonna Claude.  I have attended defensive driving classes quite a few times.  I have to say - this was the first time I actually enjoyed a defensive driving class ever.  I would HIGHLY recommend taking LaDonna's class.  It's not so much that she was funny - it was more that she was so friendly and engaging, she involved the class and kept our attention the entire day, and it was never boring.  Also - when you go there, you don't get pizza.  You get a really good lunch -  no steak, but you do get a really good burger, chicken sandwich, or salad.

I attended the Funny Bone Defensive Driving course in Round Rock on July 9th.  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 Read Less

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! Read Less

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. Read Less

From my husband:Unfortunately, I have been to many Defensive Driving courses in my 25years 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 wasa former Wilco and Austin police officer, so he had lots of great andvaluable insights).  I would highly recommend Funny Bone to anyonelooking 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. Read Less

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. Read Less

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.

Having to take Defensive Driving Sucks--but I was surprised how good this class was. Learned some interesting facts and the time flew by--made it very easy to listen and somewhat enjoy being in defensive driving. Wish they would of provided dinner both nights was the only drawback. Read Less

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. Read Less

I had the experience of being taught by two different people, and let me tell you--the instructor makes all of the difference. I took a Monday/Tuesday 3 hrs/evening class and the first instructor was mediocre. He admitted that normally he had a routine but because he was splitting up his class, he just reviewed the test with us. Not only was Colin not funny, he spent an hour going over alcohol in a somewhat antagonistic way. Dana, on the other hand, was a lot of fun and funny as well! The second night was wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed that class (laughed a lot). If he'd taught both classes, I'd highly recommend this school. Maybe call in advance and see who your instructor is going to be and whether, if it's Colin, he's splitting the class with someone. Also--don't be fooled by the advertising of free pizza with the class! That's only for the first night (yeah, you knew it was too good to be true). In addition, it says to arrive 10 minutes early, but these guys are so laidback that it's not necessary (nothing really gets started until 10 mins after official start time). Read Less
