It was horrible

It was horrible. I still have 3 chapters of bullshit common sense after already doing it for 6 hours and 40 minutes none stop. (if you dont have this common sense then you shouldn't be driving.) Its freaking ridiculous lying saying its a 6 hour course when it clearly is not.

Answers the mail, misses the point

I completed this course to get the discount on insurance, and that all went well. BUT the course itself was not really helpful in teaching good accident and injury concepts and techniques. If you enjoy dissections of traffic laws, or are interested in how certain surprising this are legal or illegal, this is the course for you. But to increase the odds of staying alive behind the wheel, not so much. A good course for jaded adults, but not the one I wish my teenage son was taking.

Convenient and I learned to be a better driver.

I found the specific Delaware references and photos helpful to clear up some of Delaware's confusing signage and road markings. Will definitely take my next refresher course from them.

Course was great, but didn't actually decrease my insurance cost.

I completed the course a few weeks ago. I found the course to be a nice refresher on safe driving. Unfortunately, when I called my insurance company they only discounted my plan 1%. Not the hoped and anticipated 10% that I really needed. With that lower savings the course is not really usefull. It actually under cost me more to take the class then I saved on insurance costs.

Thank you for your feedback Dominick. We're sorry you did not see more savings from your insurance company. Major insurance companies give 15% off of liability premiums for the successful renewal of a state approved defensive driving course (10% off for completion of the basic course). Typical savings are around $200 - $300 per year.

Excellent presentation of drivinbg safely

As a course, it was perfect. Not intimidating, understood that people make mistakes, and allows do-overs.

For information, it was the best information source I can think of about driving. I learned so many things about driving.

For driving laws, I have been driving for 43 years. I had never knew several of these rules. Things like moving over one lane if possible when coming upon a first responder or any vehicle with flashing lights on the side of the road, or slowing down if you can't move over. I also learned about what single and double white lines mean.

Everyone should be required to take this every time they are up for license renewal.

Best value and great info!

I have gone to their classes for my certification for years now and this is the second time I have used their online classroom and it couldn't have been easier. It was informative as always, well updated and very easy to use! I will continue to use and to recommend as well.

The Defensive Driving Course

There was good information and I learned a lot but it was way, way, way, way toooo llllllong. It took me 3 days to complete. People don't have that kind of time. One thing, why would you make it so you cant test until a certain amount of time? I was falling asleep at my computer. All that money and all that time was not worth it to save $ .50 on my insurance. The -3 pts on your license is a good idea.

Thank you for your feedback Lawrence. The Renewal Course is required by Delaware law to be a MINIMUM of three hours long - and that is what our course is. It is also why we provide features which allow students to stop and start at their convenience. As for saving $.50 on your insurance, major insurance companies give 15% off of liability premiums for the successful renewal of a state approved defensive driving course. Typical savings are around $200 - $300 per year.

Learn and Save Money

What an excellent way to review safe driving habits and save money at the same time. For those that need to reduce points off their record, there is not a much easier way.

online defensive driving course

it is a very good course that can be done from the privacy of your home at your own pace and beats having to go to a location where you are at risk of having an accident or been attacked by somebody.

Ease of use

This online course makes it easy for everyone to complete these courses and hopefully become a better driver. One of my kids used a different program that required taking the course certificate to a notary public afterwards. Adding that additional step makes it a more complicated process to go through. Frankly the more accessible the program, the more people are likely to use it.
This is far better.
