The Defensive Driving Course for Personal Computer (DDC-PC) is based on the same content used in the National Safety Council's eight-hour, instructor-led Defensive Driving Course, the most widely used driver safety program in the world. More than 55 million drivers have learned to protect themselves on the road by taking part in National Safety Council programs. The goal of the Defensive Driving Course is to train drivers in collision prevention techniques while promoting an attitude of mutual understanding, courtesy and cooperation on the road. With DDC-PC you can receive this training at your convenience from the desktop. Using state-of-the-art animation and graphics, the online version offers an engaging, interactive learning environment where students analyze real driving situations, spot driving hazards, and identify the correct defenses. You can receive a certificate of completion from the National Safety Council that, in many states, can be used to lower automobile insurance rates. Check with your insurance carrier to see if you qualify.
