[Shotimes] RE: OT - Insurance Cost Reductions/Defensive Driver Course

[Bruce Malachuk]

Sorry Basically you pay for the course like you would if you paid for the
course to take it in a classroom setting. But when you buy the course
online, you have a yearlong license to it, meaning from what I read, you
could technically take the course all over again just before your year long
license for the online course expires and be able to extend your DDC
insurance discounts for an extra year. IIRC the course reduces insurance
rates in many states for 3 years then you need to take the class again to
retain the benefits. The online version seems to give you an extra year if
you remember to take the course a second time.

I don't understand "You pay $41.25 and the course is good for a year, so you
can take it 2 times and basically get the coverage of 4 years of DDC credit
for your insurance."

Just wanted to share incase others out there like me didn't know. The
National Safety Council offers an online version of the Defensive Driver
Course. I have been lax about taking this course for the past 5-6 years
since my last one expired, mainly cause I can't bear to sit thru 8 hours of
a class. Well I had to renew my insurance today and then decided that I
should save myself the $75 for the year and take the damn class. Well after
searching for a while I found that they offer the class interactively
online.

 

I'm 1/2 thru the course, and have only spent an hour on it. And you can save
your progress at any point. You pay $41.25 and the course is good for a
year, so you can take it 2 times and basically get the coverage of 4 years
of DDC credit for your insurance. Best part of all is not 8 hour course. 

 

here's a link to the site to buy. http://www.nscddconline.com/
