Defensive Driving
The most dangerous part of our day is when we get into our cars. Over time, though, we develop a relaxed attitude about driving and roadway safety. This course will aid you in developing good driving habits, share some information about driving safety, and help participants learn to handle dangerous driving scenarios.
