Defensive Driving Course 4

DDC 4, a National Safety Council approved course, is a fast-paced, four-hour driver improvement program that also makes an ideal refresher course. In just a half 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.

No other driver improvement course is so widely used by business and industry, courts and government agencies, state departments, municipalities, driving schools and the military. It’s one of the few driver improvement programs that offer consistent quality and content nationwide. Yet, flexible enough for us to customize the course to address driving and road conditions in your state or geographic area.

In addition to standard road rules and regulations content, NSC’s newly revised DDC 4, 5th edition offers a fresh look into contemporary driving issues that impact our behavior and safety on the road way. The 5th edition includes these expanded course topics:
