Driving Courses
Our classes and courses include the following:
Required State-Approved Class for DUI,
Alcohol and/or Drug Offenses
Risk Reduction is the 20–Hour class required by the State of Ga. for a drug or alcohol charge. It is what most people refer to as a “DUI Class.” We offer classes every other weekend (and sometimes every weekend). Monthly schedules vary and are posted on our front door. Classes are scheduled and subject to change due to State attendance requirements.
Most classes are complete in four (4) days, but occasionally, we schedule 3-day classes. The 4-day class begins on Saturday morning at 8 am and ends at 4 pm, including a 1-hour lunch break, with the same hours on Sunday. Then Monday and Tuesday evenings we continue from 6:30-9:30 pm. Class is over Tuesday night at 9:30, and you leave with your Certificate of Completion in hand! A typical 3-day class meets at the same times on Sat. & Sun., but we finish the class on Monday from 8 am-3 pm. That’s it! A person must attend ALL sessions without missing any or being late. State Requirements prohibit all Driving Schools from admitting late students.
An evaluation (Assessment) is used during class, so it must be completed before the class begins. The Assessment takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. NO appointment is necessary– you can walk in ANY weekday (except Thursdays when Defensive Driving class meets) between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. If those hours don’t work for you, we will meet with you at your convenience by appointment. Just call us at (770) 459-8074 if you need after-hours service.
The fee for this class is set by the State and is the same state-wide. The total cost (including the Assessment, book, and class) is $280.00. The total fee must be paid prior to the start date of the class. At least $75.00 is due on the date of the Assessment (no checks, please). Call us for more information or if we can help you!
State-Approved Defensive Driving Course
Defensive Driving is a class for:
- Reducing points on a person’s driver’s license;
- Qualifying for Insurance premium discount(s) as set forth by O.C.G.A. 33-9-42 (which states that an Insurance Company will give a discount of at least 10% to people who complete the course, provided that they meet certain requirements);
- Reinstating a Suspended or Revoked Driver’s License;
- Instructing new drivers on the “Rules of the Road” and Safety issues;
- Meeting requirements set forth by the Courts, Probation Officers, etc.
We offer regularly scheduled Defensive Driving classes generally every week. Days and times will vary. We sometimes offer One-Day classes from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on certain weekdays, and we offer two-session classes (3 hours each) meeting some weekday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. or6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Monthly schedules vary and are usually posted on our door. We usually have at least one Saturday class per month. See the schedule for class dates and times. We must start classes promptly at the stated time and cannot enroll anyone after a class has started. To enroll on the day of class, a person must be here fifteen (15) minutes BEFORE the beginning of class and NO later. A person cannot be late. Late arrivals will NOT be admitted per State Rules.
Depending on the situation and schedule, we may be able to offer non-scheduled, custom classes to you at the time of your choice. We are open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Let us know when and what hours you would like to attend. Although there is a minimum attendance requirement, we will do our very best to accommodate your needs. All YOU have to do is show up!
The fee for the class is set by the State at $75.00 for Point Reductions, Suspensions, Court Orders, or Traffic Citations. For Insurance Reduction only, the cost is $50.00, but restrictions apply. Be sure to ask about them. You will get a certificate of completion at the end of the class, and we will give you information on how to submit the certificate and to what Agencies. Just call us for more info.
