Alive at 25 is a
4 hour
academic
class that helps high-risk drivers make safe choices. It helps young drivers understand the importance of taking ultimate responsibility for the driving decisions by focusing on attitude, behavior, and judgement. Students learn the negative effects and dangers associated with distractions, peer pressure and driver inexperience. This class is only 4 hours but the knowledge gained will benefit you for a lifetime.
Defensive Driving
is an 8-hour
academic
class
that identifies risky attitude and behavior, which cause problems on the road, as well as identifying why most collisions are preventable. This class also studies the difference between good driving and defensive driving and also teaches important techniques in hazard detection and collision avoidance.
Defensive driving provides a driver with tips for handling what one can control (you and your vehicle) and provides useful guidelines for handling conditions one cannot control (traffic, weather, roads, other drivers, etc). This meaningful course teaches that safe driving is created through a personal, life-long commitment to be a responsible, low-risk driver and that these habits can be the difference between health / injury or life / death.
A driver education student, who has signed up for Defensive Driving has 12 months to take the course after completing our Driver Education course. The NSC recommends completing the 50 practice hours and / or obtaining your license before taking this course. Please confirm with us, which class you plan to attend.
Note: In our driver education contract / agreement, we are offering this class to our driver education students at a 50% discount price (no refunds). The cost is $65.00 to WDS students, provided they sign up for Defensive Driving at the time of original enrollment or before the 6 hours of driving is completed.
