Why would I take a Defensive Driving Class?
Driver Improvement courses may be court ordered, taken for points reduction, driver’s license reinstatement, insurance premium reduction, or personal education.
What is the difference between a Driver Improvement course approved by the Department of Driver Services and a course not approved by the Department of Driver Services?
You may use a Certificate of Completion from a DDS approved course taught at a certified Driver Improvement Clinic for certain matters related to your driver’s license. Driver Improvement courses not approved by DDS, such as AARP, cannot be used for driver’s license related issues.
Can I take a Driver Improvement course online?
At this time, DDS does not recognize online Driver Improvement courses for driver’s license related issues. Certificates of Completion from online Driver Improvement courses are not accepted by the DDS for any purposes related to an individual’s driver’s license or driving privileges.
Does the Driver Improvement course involve behind the wheel instruction?
Driver Improvement courses approved by DDS are classroom instruction only and do not include practical or behind the wheel instruction.
I was 5 minutes late arriving for class and the instructor would not allow me to attend the class. Can they do that?
Yes. All schools have strict attendance policies, which are outlined in the paperwork you sign when you contract with a school to attend one of its courses. You will be expected to arrive on time and to complete each session. Students that arrive late to any session can expect to be denied entry into class and may be required to start the course over again, at full cost. In addition, students that are absent or leave early from any session may be required to start the course over again, at full cost. It is recommended that you consider the course schedule carefully and take into account any potential scheduling conflicts you may have before signing a contract to attend.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL 678-903-3903 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE and REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT CLASS.
