Defensive Driving Class

Defensive Driving classes are often required by the court system to be completed as a condition of a speeding ticket or similar moving violation but there are many other reasons the State of Georgia requires this 6 hour class.  Other reasons include points reduction, insurance reduction or to have a driver's license reinstated.
