Defensive Driving Class

Sharpen your driving skills - and save money! Complete a six-hour defensive driving course -- our AAA Driver Improvement Program -- and you become eligible for a car insurance rate discount and driver's license point reduction.

This defensive driving course earns you (the principal operator) a 10 percent discount on collision, liability and no-fault insurance. This discount is good for three years, which can be extended by re-taking the course.

Completion of the program also entitles you to a reduction of up to four points on your driving record. The course can be taken again after 18 months to reduce any subsequent points you might accrue.

If you originally took the course for savings on your insurance and later receive violation points, you do not have to wait 18 months to take the course to reduce these new points.

The six-hour course can be taken in one day or two, three-hour sessions. Classes are held in 11 of the Club's 16 counties.

Prices and Discounts

The cost for the course is $35 for members and $45 for non-members.

We offer a reduced rate of $25 on senior days for our members over 55 years old, and on young driver days for our members between 16 and 24 years old.

We also offer discounts to groups of 20 or more - businesses, schools and fleets. For AAA to come to you, your facility must provide a large screen TV, a 4-head remote-controlled VCR and adequate space and seating. E-mail AAA Traffic Safety for more information or call 516/ 873-2364.
