About DefensiveDriving.com's Motor Vehicle Safety Courses

DefensiveDriving.com provides driver safety courses designed to be convenient, entertaining, and of the highest educational quality. Currently we offer our courses in four formats:

Wheels in Motion™ Video – On DVD,
Digital Cable, and Internet Streaming Video

The Wheels in Motion™ video was developed in its entirety by DefensiveDriving.com, designed and written with input from nationally renowned driving safety experts. As a result, Wheels in Motion contains 100% new footage never before seen in driving safety videos, and the video is recognized as the most comprehensive driving safety video on the market.

The educational content of the Wheels in Motion video is further enhanced by first-rate video production that presents the learning materials in a fast-paced, entertaining format. This combination of high quality educational content and first rate production values earned Wheels in Motion international recognition and a Silver Plaque at the INTERCOMM Awards (part of the Chicago International Film Festival).

DefensiveDriving.com's Wheels in Motion video course is also offered on digital cable on demand in select markets via Comcast.

In 2008, DefensiveDriving.com released the Wheels in Motion video on streaming video on the Internet, offering students the same great quality video with the convenience of Internet delivery. As with the DVD course, students have the option of being tested via the Web or by telephone automated response.
