Read what our customers have to say about our New York State DMV-approved Defensive Driving courses.
I have attended many defensive training classes and my personal opinion is you two guys did an excellent job.You not only made it interesting but fun. You didn’t just go word by word from the book but gave examples you’ve experienced. I thank your team for a job well done and I will recommend you to others. Have a nice day! Thanks again and I’ll see you in three years!
Pat in Delhi (This is thanks to one of our certified instructors)
I took the class on line, and it was so easy! I took breaks when I wanted to, and what I liked most is that there was no test at the end. I live in Brooklyn and the savings on my auto insurance I got from completing this course was substantial! It was just so easy I would recommend it to anyone, and have already had my wife and several of my co- workers take it.
Stuart in Brooklyn
I took the course at home on my computer, and at the same time my 19 year old son took it on his iPad (I made him since he just got a car for his birthday!) My son did the whole course in under 6 hours, and I did it for an hour a night for 6 nights after work. It was really easy with no tests, and together we saved over $500 a year on our auto insurance.
Todd and Todd Jr in Westchester
I recently got a speeding ticket (my 3rd), and took the course on line about a week before my court date. I took the option of having my completion certificate overnighted to me and was really impressed. I started the course on Tuesday evening, and did about half of it before I got tired. Went to bed, and in the morning completed the other half, and I actually had my certificate in my hand by Thursday! What’s more, the Judge was so impressed when he saw I had completed the course that he changed my ticket into a no point violation!! Thank you NYDDC!!!
Molly from Syracuse U NY
I never used to wear my seat belt, and have been driving for over 40 years, but after attending the NYDDC class in Flushing, I started wearing it. As fate would have it, two days later I was involved in the first car accident of my life and it was a pretty bad one. The police officer told me had I not been wearing my seat belt I would have more then likely been killed. What more can I say!!
Stephen in Nassua
My husband and I took the class together (we take it every three years for the insurance discount, but this was the first time with NYDDC) and it was great! By far the best class we have taken. My favorite part was comparing stories on distracted driving with the instructor and other members of the class. Pretty scary what some people do while behind the wheel!

Have a Look at what our instructors are saying about us:
As an instructor, I find the main office to be a well oiled machine. My calls and emails (including evenings and weekends) to Wendy (who I call Wonder Woman because of how timely and easily everything is done) are typically answered with successful resolution to any questions within an hour. This makes it easy for me to quickly and easily accommodate any student requests. Feedback I get from students indicate they love the quick delivery of course completion certificates.

“Thank you. I appreciate the way you and your company are always helping us to be better . one of the many reasons i will always stay with DEFENSIVE DRIVERS DISCOUNT. Thank you WENDY + STAFF. Enjoy your day.”
David, Owner of OnPoint Watchdog Protection & investigative services
“My organization recently became affiliated with Defensive Drivers Discount late in 2016. We’ve worked extensively with Ms. Mardel in building our new Defensive Driver’s course presentation.
Ms. Mardel consistently and routinely places our needs above her own as demonstrated by her willingness to travel and answer her phone listening to our questions at any hour, day or night. Ms. Mardel is a font of knowledge and obviously has developed contacts within her industry allowing her access to the information necessary for the efficient management of the programs we deliver.
Ms. Mardel’s dedication to team-building and trust allows us to deliver a program that works in our local community and even though we are new to this opportunity, we’re developing a reputation as truth tellers, entertainers, and a resource for information in our field. Wendy’s listening and interpretive skills create the environment for this to happen. Our students many who have sat through Defensive Driver’s Courses in the past, (some are commercial drivers) are enthusiastically recruiting their friends and associates to attend our course. Through Ms. Mardel’s willingness to actively listen to our proposals we have developed leads on opportunities to present the course through New York State’s University System’s, Adult Education courses and our local BOCES Adult Education courses. We have also been invited to present at major industry in our area. Ms. Mardel’s enthusiasm and willingness to participate in the process as we grow creates these possibilities.
Please forward our thanks and appreciation to “Wendy” for her help and guidance through this building process. We look forward to working with her and Defensive Drivers Discount in the future.”

Dmitry, Coney Island NY
I am a defensive driving instructor for some 15 years now and about 2 years ago I made a decision to leave my out of state sponsor and join the Defensive Driver’s team. I made the choice for several reasons…they are based in my state and dealt primarily with NY laws, they are very hands on and quick to respond, Wendy comes to me for refreshers and issues so I’m not running to the city all the time. However I believe my main reason for staying with NYDDD is everyone is knowledgeable, patient and they take the stress out of my job. Now what employer does that today?
BL K, Port Jervis NY
Working with DDD is great! The staff are always there to answer questions and they get my certificates out ASAP! Thanks DDD!
Deej Holland, Suffern NY

C.B.T., Spring Valley NY
The entire team has been amazing. Whether I call or email them they are always there to answer any questions promptly. When I hold classes the certificates are always mailed out immediately. They are awesome. My students are impressed by the promptness in which they receive their certificates. Bravo Defensive Driver’s son los mejores!!!!
Maria, Yonkers NY
I enjoy working with DDD. They make sure that my students are satisfied with their certificate turn around time. I enjoyed my training and teaching the curriculum. The staff are both knowledgeable and personable. They get back to me on the same day with any questions. Thanks to Wendy and the DDD team!
Mike, East Meadow NY
I’ve been teaching driver’s safety classes for over 20 years and worked with 3 different providers before I signed up with this company. Their customer service is very efficient and friendly. First of all, they all – Wendy, Michael, Estefania and Rebecca – work as a team. I usually work with Wendy, but whoever picks up the phone can solve any problem and answer any question immediately. Working with this company for the last 2 years is all pleasure. They mail students’ certificate as soon as they receive class submissions, there has never been a delay. Requested duplicates are also mailed immediately. I also like that they allow agencies to enter their students’ information into the system. This helps to avoid misspelling of the students’ names, which was a big problem with my prior providers, it offended students and caused processing delays. They are also excellent in handling problems with US Postal service.
Marina, Staten Island NY
I enjoy working with DDD. Their customer service is second to none. The team at DDD, Wendy Mike Rebecca & Estefania, are always there to answer my questions. My students get their certificates promptly and without issues. Wendy trained me and sent me all the materials I needed to start my class. I can’t think of a better team to help me!
Hector, Brooklyn NY
After a couple of years associated with Defensive Driver’s Discount, I can honestly say that the staff at DDD, Wendy, Mike, Estefania and Rebecca have always been thoughtful, readily accessible and professional in addressing all our questions and concerns. They are incomparable in everything that they do to ensure the customers are always satisfied and resolutions are reached with all matters brought to their attention. At Radiant, we could not ask for a better DDD customer service team. Thank you.
Elvis, New York NY
What can I say about Defensive Drivers Discount except that they run their business as efficiently, if not more efficiently than I run my own! The customer service I received from my representative Wendy is always stellar. I even got a call from Gregg, the owner! I would highly recommend this company to all instructors out there! I don’t know anyone else who is so responsive with emails and communication. Thanks guys!
David, Queens NY
I’m an instructor with DDD. I want to thank the most supportive customer service team I have ever worked with. Wendy goes the extra mile to please my students by getting the paperwork processed quickly as well as offering me extra opportunities to broaden my class experiences. Mike recently assisted me in creating marketing tools that are professional and much appreciated (received within a week!). Estefania and Rebecca have been so accommodating to me during my process of learning how and when to schedule my classes. I feel very fortunate to be associated with such a caring team!”
Nancy, Port Jervis NY
I have been working with DDD for about 2 years now, I have been in this business for close to 13 years and working with Wendy, Mike, Rebecca and Estefania has been a pleasure. They’re always there to help, Never a complaint when I call and do their job as if I was the only instructor they have. I have worked with many Sponsors but DDD is more like a family. Always helpful Always there ….. Looking forward to many more years with them!
