The Regret of Past Demerits

Are you a perfect driver? Maybe you earned those demerits because of the

  • U-turn you did in front of the elementary school during parent pick-up hours,
  • Distracted driver moment at the stop light,
  • Speeding because you were rushing instead of thinking about safety,
  • Racing down that new road when you didn’t see any cars,
  • Swearing that the pedestrian hand signaled for you to go ahead at a crosswalk but forgetting they have the right-of-way, or
  • Missing the Playground Zone sign because you were taking a new route

There’s actually many ways people have lost points. Alberta transportation lists common errors here:

So if you’re regretting some demerits, the Defensive Driver Online Course can reduce your demerits by up to 3 points. From the comfort of your own home, you can watch and learn online at your own pace. The 6 hour program is offered through Fleet Safety International for $105 + applicable taxes. Once successfully completed, you will receive a certificate of completion.

Remember to bring your certificate into our office when applying for the 3-demerit reduction.
As an added bonus, some insurance companies may agree to reduce your insurance rate as well.
