Defensive Driving Course - 4 (DDC-4)
Instructor Development Course

DDC-4 is a fast-paced, four-hour classroom program that also makes for an ideal refresher course. Focusing on the importance of attitude in accident prevention and avoidance as well as the good driving skills students already have, DDC-4 shows the consequences of poor choices made behind the wheel—and puts defensive driving into a personal context. No other driver improvement course is more widely used by businesses and industries, courts and government agencies, state departments, municipalities, driving schools, and the military.

With this popular four-hour course, participants receive practical strategies to reduce collision related injuries, fatalities, and costly repairs. This course stresses the importance of attitude in crash prevention and reinforces good, sensible driving skills that participants already have. Most importantly, it clearly demonstrates the consequences of the poor choices drivers make behind the wheel. Available in both English and Spanish, this half-day course emphasizes the importance of keeping our roads safe.

What you will learn:

• Superior strategies to prevent collisions and citations
• Coping strategies for dealing with road rage, impaired drivers, high-speed drivers and other dangers on the highway
• The know-how for evaluating and improving driving skills after mapping-out a personal skills inventory
• The serious consequences of fatigue, distracted driving, emotional impairments, and other risk factors
• Why vehicle malfunction and poor maintenance contribute to collisions
