Benefits of Taking A Defensive Driving Course

Benefits of Taking A Defensive Driving Course

by admin / Wednesday, 02 March 2011 / Published in Road Safety

At Insurance Doctor, we believe in safety first, especially when driving. Defensive driving courses are known to teach safe driving techniques to drivers. In a defensive driving class, students learn how to avoid common driving mistakes and to improve their driving skills.

Defensive driving classes are available in every state by the government and police departments to increase safety on the road and decrease accidents. Defensive driving courses include topics such as principles of safety, controlling your fear and emotions while driving, quick decision making and reactions, and emergency care.

Here are benefits of completing the defensive driving course:

Defensive driving classes will improve your driving skills.

If you receive a driving violation ticket, most states offer a reduction of points on your driver’s license and offer the additional incentive of not increasing insurance rates if you complete a defensive driving course.

In some states a defensive driving course can qualify the driver for a reduction in insurance rates.

A defensive driving course will teach safe driving techniques.

The course will teach techniques on how to handle road rage and speeding.

The defensive driving course will teach safe driving techniques in poor weather and adverse road conditions.

The course will address critical safety issues and also teach basic emergency action as well.
