Defensive Driving - Van Safety
This 3 hour course is designed to educate drivers on the differences between operating a 12 or 15- passenger van versus a car or pickup truck.
According to a recent study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 15 passenger vans are much more likely to roll than are other vehicles, and the risk increases significantly with more than 9 passengers.
The course includes differences in operating characteristics of vans versus cars, how to compensate for those differences, and common risks associated with van driving. It also includes an overview of defensive driving tips applicable to all motor vehicles.
The class is entertaining and yet full of valuable information for all participants. We use slides, videos, and magnetic boards; and the National Safety Council workbook used during the course is yours to keep. This course has received many good reviews from past participants. Participants receive a certificate.
Not only will you learn something new, but your agency or university may receive a 10% discount for sending employees to the class.
