Take a defensive driving course online and keep New Yorkers safe!Rochester, N.Y.-- As summer officially starts today, teenage drivers across the USA are poised to enjoy school-free days, summer jobs and youthful frolics.
Their parents might be less eager. Automobile crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the USA, and the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is the deadliest for drivers ages 15-20, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
CSEA members and their families can now complete a six-hour defensive driving course online through the New York Safety Program, which also continues to offer the traditional classroom course to members.
New York Safety Program sponsors the Driver Improvement Course that has been approved by the New York State Dept. Of Motor Vehicles for Point Reduction and the Dept. of Insurance for Insurance Reduction in New York State. The NYSP course is a six hour classroom course that uses behavior modification methodology to positively influence attitude and therefore, behavior behind the wheel.
Certified instructors, using modern multimedia techniques, will teach you the roles and responsibilities of the individual driver, traffic laws, emergency and defensive driving methods. There are no tests to pass and there is no driving involved. The NYSP course is available statewide through a network of approved training agencies.
The NYSP Behavior Modification Course shows the most dramatic results with a 65% reduction in traffic violations. The results of a similar test again show the NYSP Behavior Modification Course to decrease vehicle accidents with a 35% reduction.
