Drivers Safety & DOT

National Safety Council driver improvement courses:

• 4, 6 & 8-hour Defensive Driving Courses
  Participation in a DDC program can dramatically reduce violations and collision rates. Motor vehicle related incidents can have immeasurable human and financial impact on individuals, families, and employers: e.g. loss of life or quality of life, and significant financial impact. Let us help you improve your odds of having safe drivers in your employment.
• Coaching the Mature Driver
  (6-8 hour course)
  Designed for the specific concerns of drivers over the age of 55. As times change, mature drivers must not only adapt to many technological innovations, they must learn to compensate for the physical changes they experience.
• Alive at 25 (4-hour course)
  Certified driver training program designed specifically for drivers ages 16-24.
• Transporting passengers with Special Needs

Today's driver must learn defensive driving techniques and safe passenger assistance procedures. Through individual and "Driver Learning Team" exercises, group discussion, and hands-on demonstrations, trainees actively participate in the learning process.
