New York DMV Approves I DRIVE SAFELY’s Online Defensive Driving Course

May 19, 2009 - PRLog -- The State of New York Department of Motor Vehicles announced their approval for New York drivers to complete their Point & Insurance Reduction Courses online. Traditionally, all New York Defensive Driving courses required mandatory classroom training. However, as more and more drivers requested online training, the NY DMV issued requests to online providers to evaluate the quality of their courses. I DRIVE SAFELY was one of the few online companies that were approved.
I DRIVE SAFELY has been a leader in the online defensive driving industry for more than 10 years. We offer a unique customer-centric approach coupled with professionally designed courses that ensure our customers a hassle-free, rewarding experience.

“We’ve spent close to three years developing an online New York Defensive Driving Course that would not only meet the DMV’s requirements but our stringent requirements as well,” Explains CEO Rick Hernandez. “We wanted our Defensive Driving Course to be the best, most effective online course available in New York.”

The approval for online Defensive Driving Courses gives New York drivers a viable and welcomed option to take their Point & Insurance Reduction Courses. Completely online, I DRIVE SAFELY’s Defensive Driving course gives New Yorkers the ability to complete their course wherever there’s a computer connected to the Internet.

“Most of our customers,” explains Hernandez, “study the courses in short segments throughout the day. They start at home, do a few minutes there, get to work and study more at lunch, then complete the course at home again that night.”

The concept of online defensive driving courses is not new to the State of New York. Most states across the nation have some form of online training, either approved at a court or magistrate level. And with the Internet becoming a vital aspect to everyone’s lives, more high-level approvals for online training are inevitable.

“It’s more convenient and it really is a better teaching tool,” states Ian Bonewitz, Business Development Director at I DRIVE SAFELY. “Students are more focused, they’re more apt to be ready to learn, and because there’s greater interaction with online courses, they’re more engaged.”
