Its content and methodology were modeled after state and provincial government standards for defensive driving courses.

"This is such an excellent resource. I’ve been commuting to school/work for 12 years and consider myself to be a pretty good rider, but I learned so much here. I’ve read plenty of things online and even a few books, but this addressed a lot of concerns I had and presented new info in a way that’s easy to comprehend (the graphics and videos helped a lot).

"I liked that I could go back in when I wanted and it kept my place.

"I’ve been trying out what I learned on my rides this week, and it’s already making a big difference. Thanks!"

— Stephen R.
