Defensive (Proactive) Driving Course for Vehicle Drivers  (5 hours Online +2 hours Vehicle Training)

July 31, 2026 
Time: 5:00 pm-10:00 pm

This course is designed for corporations, small businesses, and government agencies to enhance employee safety and responsibility behind the wheel, aiming to reduce driver-related collisions. Participants will learn how to control a vehicle to prevent or avoid accidents, even in the face of unsafe actions by other drivers and challenging road conditions. The course introduces strategic driving techniques and essential rules that responsible drivers must apply to drive proactively during and outside work hours. Participants will explore how to apply these driving strategies in real-world situations to avoid conflicts, minimize the risk of collisions, and safeguard their lives. Through interactive learning activities—such as case scenarios, quizzes, group exercises, and class discussions—they will also assess their driving behaviors and attitudes, gaining insights into how these factors influence their driving decisions and interactions with other road users.
