NSC Driver Safety Training 

The most interactive safety driver training course from the National Safety Council. This course will motivate participants to change their behind-the-wheel behaviors and attitudes. It will give them key understanding, skills and techniques to avoid collisions and reduce future violations. The result is a more responsible driver who grasps best practices to prevent injury and death while operating a motor vehicle.

• How driving distractions such as talking and texting affect driving ability
• The definition of impairment and its related dangers

The Need for Defensive Driving

 Motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 cause of occupational fatalities and the leading cause of death for ages 2-39 and ages 50-72. Plus, the increasing number of new drivers and vehicles on the road creates a continuing need for defensive driving training across all age groups. 

NSC Partners to Save Lives 

The National Safety Council has long been a partner with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, privately owned businesses and many others in the public and private sectors to improve traffic safety. Stronger laws and enforcement, coupled with effective campaigns managed or endorsed by NSC, have contributed to reductions in traffic deaths from impaired driving or distracted driving, non-use of seat belts and unsafe driving behaviors.  

The Leader in Defensive Driving

In addition, NSC trains millions in defensive driving techniques, with more than 1.7 million participants annually—more than 67 million since 1964. We were the first national organization to offer defensive driving programs, and we’ve continued to innovate and set the standards in the field ever since. Since the original Defensive Driving Course program, NSC has expanded to more than 30 defensive driving courses offered in all 50 states and many foreign countries.

We are committed to ensuring that people get what they need from the NSC to drive defensively—knowledge, skills and perspective that will help them continue to prevent injuries and save even more lives. We continue to lead and join with other public and private sectors to educate and advocate for best practices in driver safety.

Our goal is to save even more lives by educating  each and every one of us who share our nation’s highways.
