The Defensive Driving Program provides effective, targeted training that will focus on each driver’s needs. The aim is to reduce the risks of driving by anticipating dangerous situations, despite adverse conditions or the mistakes of others. This can be achieved through adherence to a variety of general rules, as well as the practice of specific driving techniques. A combination of both in-class and on-road training is the greatest means to establish a safe driver.
