I just took a Defensive Driving course two weeks ago. What an eye opener. Although I consider myself to be a good driver, there were many important things that I learned...and should have known already? The whole class, full of long time driving adults, was burning with questions...less about actual defensive driving and more about everyday driving rules! A refresher course every 10 years may be appropriate without being burdensome. I learned to drive 26 years ago. I just took a Defensive Driving course two weeks ago. What an eye opener.
