Safety NL provides several different driving courses that are designed to help you, your family, or even your employees stay safe on the road. We also provide courses that are required in order to reduce the points on your driving record or if you have lost your license.
We provide the following driver education courses:
Driver training isn’t just for new drivers! Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned driver, Safety NL can help you, your family, or even your employees stay safe on the road.
Educate yourself and your team about driving hazards with the nationally approved Defensive Driving Course from Canada Safety Council. Our full day course can be offered at your workplace or at our training facility.
The Point Reduction Course allows for a maximum of four points to be removed from your driving record and can be taken once every five years. The points will be removed; however, the convictions for any points will remain on your driver’s abstract for five years. Upon completion of this course, we will fax confirmation of your attendance to Motor Vehicle Registration so they can make the adjustment to your driver’s record.
SafetyNL does not have access to your driving record, so please direct any inquiries to the Motor Vehicle Registration office nearest you.
