Defensive Driving: Always a Priority

http://www.utahsafetycouncil.org/defensive_driving/index.asp
The Utah Safety Council sponsors a defensive driving course, always timely and always available.  It can benefit you if you have tickets on your record--attendees receive 50 points off their Utah driving record after having completed the course.  But more importantly, it can be an effective reminder on the how's and why's of safe driving.  You don't have to have points to take the safe driver initiative and complete the course.

The National Safety Council's Defensive Driving program offers practical strategies to reduce collision-related injuries and fatalities. It addresses the importance of attitude in preventing crashes, and reinforces good driving skills. Most importantly, DDC shows students the consequences of the choices they make behind the wheel, and puts defensive driving in a personal context. No other driver training program has a higher rate of success in reducing the severity and frequency of collisions for its participants than the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course. Study after study has shown that drivers who participate in the Defensive Driving Course average fewer collisions and fewer driving arrests than drivers who do not take the course. Offered locally through the Utah Safety Council, this course has set the standard in the industry for over 40 years, and continues to improve driver behaviors. Please register for the course beforehand.
