Two defensive driving courses will be offered at NDSU this spring by the N.D. Department of Transportation. The classes are scheduled for Tuesday, March 15, from noon to 4 p.m. and Wednesday, March 16, from 8 a.m. to noon, in the Memorial Union Prairie Rose room.

Fleet Services requires individuals 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 individuals 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 defensive driving course within the calendar year of the accident or citation.

The University Police and Safety Office encourages people who operate state fleet vehicles less than monthly to attend the defensive driving course. However, priority will be given to individuals who meet the requirements above.
