Defensive Driving Course® - Canada Safety Council
(DDC-6)
The definition of Defensive
Driving is: "Driving to prevent all types of traffic
collisions despite the action of others around you."
Three part collision prevention formula:
- Recognize the Hazard
- Understand the Defense
- Act in Time
The loss of workers due to traffic incidences
seriously impedes the operation of any business. DDC-6 is
designed to teach you, your employees and families how
to avoid collisions.
The Defensive
Driving Course is an established, proven program.
That means:
- fewer company–vehicle collisions;
- less absenteeism due to injuries and
court-time;
- life-long safe driving habits.
DDC-6 is designed for the adult
learner...
- Complete concepts are presented so they
are easily understood.
- Materials are fully integrated, so participants
who cannot read well will learn visually and through group
discussions.
