Got a ticket? Give us a call!
We offer the 6 hour classes required by the courts.
In this class, our well trained instructors share with you the techniques necessary to operate a vehicle safely and responsibly.
The goal of our National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course is to provide drivers with knowledge and safe driving techniques to prevent collisions and violations. The courses focus on collision prevention through hazard recognition and the application of collision-avoidance techniques. In addition, the course addresses violations and instructs how to change driving habits to eliminate moving violations.
Our goal is to challenge participants to change their behind-the-wheel behaviors and attitudes so they choose to drive safely, responsibly and lawfully. Our students leave the classroom equipped with skills to help them do this.
