Robin Stephens from N.D. Department of Transportation has scheduled a defensive driving course at NDSU through the Interactive Video Network. The class is set for Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Fleet Services requires employees who operate fleet vehicles, on at least a monthly basis, to take the National Safety Council Defensive Driving Course as soon as practical after accepting employment, and every four years thereafter. Training for persons who operate fleet vehicles less than monthly is at the discretion of agency trainers or risk managers. Fleet Services also requires people who have been involved in a motor vehicle accident with a State Fleet vehicle, or have received a traffic citation while operating a State Fleet vehicle in the past 12 months, to attend the course within the calendar year of the accident or citation.

The University Police and Safety Office encourages persons who operate State Fleet vehicles less than monthly to attend the class also, keeping in mind that priority will be given to those who meet the requirements stated above.

For registration contact Monty Botschner at montgomary.botschner@ndsu.edu or 701-231-5637. Because this is an IVN-taught course, registration will close on Friday, Dec. 23, at 4 p.m. to allow sufficient time for course materials to arrive on campus.
