NC Defensive Driving Courses

Everyone knows that traffic tickets can result in court appearances, fines, and higher insurance costs. However, you may have additional options in Mecklenburg, Wake, and select other North Carolina counties that can save you money while improving your driving. Since 1989 our Safe Driving Program has provided drivers with potential reductions on a traffic violation in exchange for completing the 4 hours National Safety Council defensive driving course.

Online driving classes for traffic tickets must:

Be approved by the District Attorney’s Office in the county where you received your citation OR
you were referred by your attorney.
