Defensive driving means driving to prevent collisions, even when other drivers make mistakes or road conditions turn bad. It is about looking ahead, keeping space around your vehicle and making safe choices early. For anyone who drives for work, it is one of the simplest ways to lower the risk of a crash, an injury or a costly claim.
This course is a good fit for fleet and delivery drivers, sales reps, service technicians, contractors who drive to job sites, and anyone who uses a company vehicle. Employers often use it as part of a fleet safety program. Personal drivers who want to sharpen their skills can take it too.
The course is split into three parts. You will learn scanning and hazard perception, safe following distance, the SIPDE method (Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute) and the Smith System 5 Keys. It also covers intersections, distracted and impaired driving, fatigue, winter and wet-weather driving, and what to do in an emergency.
The course is 100% online and self-paced. It works on desktop, tablet or phone, and your progress saves automatically. Pass the final exam with 80% or higher to download your certificate right away. A physical wallet card is mailed to you free, and exam retakes are unlimited and free. The course is available in English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi, Mandarin and more, and it is recognized by employers across Canada.
This is a workplace defensive driving course for people who drive for work and for employer fleet safety programs. It does not remove demerit points. In Alberta, the 3-demerit point reduction course must be taken from a provider approved by the Government of Alberta. See alberta.ca.
