DDC-8/6 Employers

Train your employees on safe driving habits

The National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Courses teach your employees practical knowledge and techniques to avoid collisions and violations, and to choose safe, responsible driving behaviors. Even if they don’t drive as part of their job descriptions, your employees’ driving habits affect your business.

The good news is that although you can't control what your employees face on the highway, you can control whether they’ve been trained to handle it.

Training pays off in more than one way. Insurance companies in 34 states offer a reduction on insurance premiums for DDC graduates. Check with your insurance provider to see if discounts apply.

The National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course (DDC) was the first driver improvement course in the nation. Nearly 40 years and 60 million drivers later, we’re still out in front. No other driver training program has a higher rate of success in reducing the severity and frequency of collisions for its customers.

What's new in the 8th edition?
