Over 3 Million Tickets Dismissed
Corporate defensive driving classes are beneficial for a multitude of reasons like getting all of your employees done at once and group discount cost. But not only is it convenient both work wise and financially, it may also help people retain information better. When working in groups there are several main benefits to consider: discussion…
Traffic and speeding tickets during coronavirus has been an interesting thing to track. Like almost everything else in 2020, its completely unexpected. Most of us assume that with the lack of cars on the road there would be less traffic tickets being handed out. We did some digging and found this to only be partial…
Oh, how I love thee, Defensive Driving! Let me count the ways!! There are so many reasons to take defensive driving in 2020. The price of a moving violation has increased as well as insurance rates. Now that we have been forced to work from our homes with this crazy pandemic. Some have even lost…
