National Safety Council Defensive Driving Courses
After obtaining a license, students can reinforce safe driving habits and earn insurance discounts or point reductions by taking one of our NSC Defensive Driving courses. These refresher courses include:
- Alive at 25 (4 hours): Focuses on attitude, behavior, and judgment for high-risk drivers. Teaches the dangers of distractions, peer pressure, and inexperience—providing knowledge that lasts a lifetime.
- Defensive Driving (8 hours): Identifies risky behaviors and attitudes, studies why most collisions are preventable, and teaches hazard detection, collision avoidance, and defensive driving techniques.
Both courses emphasize personal responsibility, creating low-risk, safe driving habits that can prevent injury or save lives.
