Defensive Driving

DLC’s Training has been teaching Defensive Driving in Dartmouth for years. We’ve now expanded and added a full driving school, certified by the Canada Safety Council. Check out our calendar to find a time that meets your requirements.

Canada Safety Council certified instructors offer this one-day standard course throughout Canada. This is an established, proven program and is designed for the adult learner. This meets the requirements of Nova Scotia’s exit from the Graduated Licensing Program and may reduce points on a license (subject to local regulations).

We hold classroom courses on demand and limit the size of our courses as to enable our instructors to foster discussions.

The Canada Safety Council Defensive Driving Course (DDC) and helps drivers join the ranks of the most safety-conscious drivers on the road.

Safe driving is a matter of occupational safety. However, an estimated nine out of 10 time-loss injuries happen off the job, not counting employees who take time off to care for an injured family member.

When a driver is involved in a crash, insurance rates can skyrocket. In addition, indirect costs can include recuperation time. For an employer re-staffing, retraining and lost productivity is another consideration.

Fewer collisions to company vehicles will help control insurance costs – and safe drivers lose less time from work because they avoid collisions. That is why a defensive driving course can benefit all who have a driver’s licence. DDC is designed to teach how to drive safely.

Traffic crashes are preventable … by defensive driving.
