It was very easy, relaxing, fun and interesting. Misuk B., CTYou were recommended to me by a family member and I am very glad I took their recommendation.

If you need to have traffic tickets dismissed or to get your car insurance premiums reduced defensive driving courses are an excellent option for you.
If you voluntarily sign up to take a defensive driving course you will learn essential information on becoming a safer driver and how to avoid accidents and future traffic tickets. You may also be eligible for lower insurance rates.
The following information will inform you about Connecticut’s defensive driving courses as well as operator retraining programs.

- Guilty of receiving two suspensions or violations and are under 24 years old.
