The National Safety Council (NSC) is a nonprofit established in 1913 and chartered by the U.S. Congress with the mission of saving lives and preventing injuries on our roads, at work, and in our communities.  NSC pioneered Defensive Driving in 1964 and over the years has trained and equipped over 75,000,000 drivers worldwide with better skills and attitudes towards driving. With over 40,000 people needlessly dying on our roadways each year, NSC has committed itself towards the quest of zero deaths (visit www.nsc.org/roadtozero).

If you have received a traffic citation and have been ordered by your Traffic Court to complete an NSC Defensive Driving program, you must complete the program and go back to Court on your assigned Return Court Date. It is your responsibility to complete the course AND provide the Completion Certificate back to the Court.

Q:  How long does the course take and what is it like?
A:  In cooperation with the Los Angeles County Court system, the National Safety Council offers a 4-hour online course that is aimed at changing driver behavior behind-the-wheel. Through this course, drivers re-learn “Rules of the Road” concepts.  By the end of the course you will have also learned how poor choices have led to irresponsible behavior and how better choices will lead to more positive outcomes.

Q: What will happen if I fail to complete the course within the required time frame?
A: If a Traffic Court assigned you to complete a driver safety course, you will need to return to Court on your assigned court date and advise the Judge that you failed to complete the course.  You will likely be given a moving violation conviction which will then be reported to the CA DMV.
