So Keith and I took a defensive driving course this past saturday, and I must say I was bored out of my face the entire time. He took it so his dad would let him drive his car and I took it to reduce insurance rates after my last speeding ticket =p (52 in a 25 ho ho... no reckless though~)
I must say though it's a pretty good deal. It's 8AM-4PM with breaks and lunch, costs 60 bucks, and knocks FIVE points off of your license if you're taking it voluntarily (not court mandated). I know a lot of insurance companies will give you breaks if you show them proof of completing these courses. I have a list of all of the local schools in Harrisonburg I picked up from the DMV I think still somewhere, but if you're interested just run by there and grab a copy.
