NSC Defensive Driving Course (DDC 4)
DDC-4 is a fast-paced driver improvement program that also makes an ideal refresher course. In just half a day, DDC-4 offers practical strategies to reduce collision-related injuries, fatalities, and costs. It addresses the importance of attitude in preventing accidents, and reinforces the good driving skills students already have. Most importantly, DDC 4 shows students the consequences of the choices they make behind the wheel, and puts defensive driving in a personal context.
After analyzing driving choices and their consequences, a multiple-choice final exam is administered, and students who pass receive a National Safety Council® Certificate of Completion. This certificate may qualify for points reduction and ticket dismissal in the state of Pennsylvania, and may make you eligible for a reduced auto insurance rate – contact your insurance company to learn more.
NSC Defensive Driving Course (DDC 8/6)
The most compelling program ever for keeping drivers safe on the road, DDC-8/6 is a comprehensive driver improvement program with a basic six-hour curriculum that you can expand to eight hours if required by your state or your specific training needs. DDC-8/6 is an interactive course designed to give drivers practical knowledge and techniques to avoid collisions and violations, and to choose safe, responsible, and lawful driving behaviors. The 9th edition features all new video sessions with riveting, real-life driver situations, updated statistics and driving tips, a Defensive Driver Self-Assessment Risk Survey, critical discussions on distracted driving, including the dangers of cell phone use and a section that can be customized with local driving statutes.
