THE MOST COMPELLING PROGRAM FOR KEEPING DRIVERS SAFE ON THE ROAD
Defensive Driving Courses are the most effective training for changing driver behaviors to prevent traffic crashes, injuries and deaths. In Illinois, drivers who completed DDC courses experienced 13 percent fewer negligent driving arrests and 19 percent fewer collisions than those who did not. By having participants complete DDC – 8/6, they may earn insurance premium discounts and points reduction in driver reward programs developed by state and local governments.
