Re: Defensive Driving Courses Now Online!
said by PCInTech  :I just had to babysit an older woman taking the FL Driver's course for this reason, and she couldn't operate a mouse. I had to do all the clicking for her. Entire course and tests took us over 6 hours. I'm happy she'll be driving in Florida, and not Brooklyn. 
In 6 hours she couldn't master even this basic the use of a mouse? I don't even want to imagine what she's like behind a wheel - my mother-in-law in central New Jersey is similar. Sometimes she tells me about incidents on the road and I cringe at the thought of her behind the wheel. She can't see above the steering wheel without extra padding, has the wheel practically in her lap, doesn't even bother adjusting EITHER of her side-view mirrors ("I don't use them"), drives at a snail's pace and has never known nor cared about the flow of traffic. |

I got the discount amounts back from Geico now that they have my certificate. It turns out it gets you a break on more than liability. These are the before and after amounts on a 6 month premium.
Bodily Injury Liability $154.70 $140.50
Property Damage Liability $46.10 $42.10
Basic Personal Injury Protection $81.60 $74.30
Collision $187.70 $170.10
Total Discount $43.10 and I'll continue to be discounted for 3 years.
It's also worth noting that the discounts can only be applied to the primary driver on the policy. If you're the primary, it doesn't pay to have your wife complete the course. There's no additional discount to be had. |

New York, NY | good point. I didn't think of that scenario since we only have one car. |
