Driver Improvement
(8 Hour Program)
Defensive Driving 

The National Safety Council’s eight (8) hour Defensive Driving Class (also known as Driver Improvement Program DIP) is approved throughout the United States for driving record point reduction.  Taught by National Safety Council certified instructors, it is designed to improve the student’s defensive driving skills.  DDC-8 is a learning experience that requires active student participation.  This classroom-based course focuses on improving both attitudes and behaviors behind the wheel.

​NOTE: The DDC-8 class is appropriate for clients having traffic violations in Missouri, Illinois and other states requiring 4 or 8 hours of driver improvement training when all criteria set by the court and state are met.  Insurance companies may offer a discount for those who successfully completed Defensive Driving Classes.  Pre-registration and payment is required.
