Business owners are always looking for ways to cut costs. Consider a course recommended by commercial auto insurance companies: The National Safety Council’s Defensive Driver Training Program.

Yup, that’s right. You don’t have to send your employees to driving school for safe driving tips; you can become the driving school!

I can’t promise that once your employees complete training you’ll receive an improvement in your Virginia auto insurance rates. But, it can’t hurt to show your commercial auto insurance company that you’ve made every effort to ensure your employees’ safety and the safety of other drivers on the road with them.
