The Maine Driving Dynamics course is a driver improvement course that is designed to improve a student's defensive driving awareness. This 5-hour course includes discussion of collision avoidance techniques, safety issues, driver habits and attitudes, and the basic elements that constantly challenge drivers on Maine's highways. Our goal is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce vehicle-related crashes.

A student who completes the course will receive a three-point credit on their driving record and may be eligible for insurance discount. Questions regarding your license should be addressed to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles at 207-624-9000.

Our years of experience and inside knowledge of the foodservice industry are at the core of our courses, exams and materials. We will prepare you to handle food sanitation risks.
