Thank you for your 5-star review, Poli! We're thrilled to hear you found our course super organized and easy to follow. We appreciate the kind words and thank you for choosing Defensive Drivers Institute. Drive safely!
It’s a good course, everything was easy. I liked that I could take the course in steps - sign in /out. Only once the sms code for signing in came late, what was scary because the time limit entering the code was past…. For the last attempt I used the other option „call“, which worked out great. I stayed with that option.

It's always good to have that backup! We appreciate you choosing Defensive Drivers Institute and wish you safe driving!
This is an excellent course. You can take breaks, when needed, and the modules were up to date with NYS laws. This was an excellent choice and very affordable.

Only lost a star because I would have to wait longer for some videos to go to next lesson even the I listened to the whole section already.
By Tori S.
Response from Defensive Drivers Institute· Mar 15, 2026
Thank you for your 4-star review, Tori! We completely understand your frustration with having to wait even after finishing the content. Those timers are mandated by state requirements to ensure students spend the minimum required time on each section. We wish we didn't have to enforce them either, especially for students who engage with all the material and finish quickly. That said, we appreciate your feedback and will reassess our timers to make sure they're matching the video content as closely as possible while staying within regulatory requirements. We appreciate you sticking with it and completing the course. Thank you for choosing Defensive Drivers Institute and drive safely!
Very easy to navigate, and loved the laid-back self-paced learning experience, I would hate to do this over Zoom.

Thank you for your 5-star review, Mane! We're glad you found our course easy to navigate and appreciated the self-paced learning experience. We agree - a Zoom defensive driving course would be pretty rough! The flexibility to learn on your own time is definitely one of the best features we offer. We appreciate you choosing Defensive Drivers Institute. Stay safe on the road!
