About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

In many states, drivers may benefit from a discount on their auto insurance premium upon completing the course. And you will learn something new along the way. In fact, an evaluation of the course found that 97% of participants changed at least one driving habit as a result of what they learned.

Our Smart Driver online course will help you:

  • Receive a multi-year discount on your auto insurance.*
  • Refresh your driving skills and your knowledge of the rules — and hazards — of the road.
  • Reduce your chances of receiving a traffic violation or getting into an accident.

Course highlights:

  • Research-based safe driving strategies.
  • Information on the effects of medication on driving.
  • Preventive measures to reduce driver distractions.
  • Proper use of safety belts, airbags, anti-lock brakes and new technology found in cars today.
  • Techniques for handling left turns, right-of-way and roundabouts.
  • State-specific rules and regulations in 19 key areas, including construction zones, child safety seats, school buses, cellphone use and more.
  • Easy-to-follow format incorporating adult-learning principles.

*Upon completion, you may be eligible to receive an auto insurance discount. Other restrictions may apply. Consult your agent for details.
