A simple way of improving your driving skills and keep you from getting involved in an accident is an approved defensive driving course.
You probably also know that a defensive driving course can be used for a traffic ticket dismissal and to remove points from your driving record. Did you also know that it may keep your auto insurance rates from increasing? In fact, some insurance companies will give you a 10% discount on the liability portion of your auto insurance.
No doubt, defensive driving courses have become a major industry in this country. Many U.S. states provide an incentive to complete a course by offering mandated auto insurance discounts.
The higher your premium, the quicker you can absorb the expense of a defensive driving course. In most cases, it will pay off in numerous ways. States with the biggest incentives include Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York. Sometimes, you can take a defensive driving course more than once to get the benefits.
Is it difficult? Not at all! Most courses are designed to be easy for everyone to understand and use. Both online and classroom courses are usually available. Expect a course to be somewhere around 5-10 hours.
The written knowledge test in Massachusetts is commonly known as the Learner’s Permit Exam. This is an exam that tests an applicants understanding of Massachusetts motor vehicle laws and safe driving practices. The exam can be administered in three formats: electronically using a kiosk, on paper or orally.
An applicant is required to take the vision test, pass the learner’s permit exam, and pass a road test to be a licensed driver in Massachusetts.
If an applicant has an out-of-state Class D or Class M license that is current or has been expired for less than a year, it may be transferred to a Massachusetts license if the customer meets the Registry of Motor Vehicles’ identification and eligibility requirements. The out-of-state license must indicate full driving privileges in that state.
Class D and M learner’s permit exams are available on a walk-in basis only during regular RMV branch hours, up until one hour before closing time.
Before taking the exam, you should read the Driver’s Manual carefully. Remember, many applicants fail the exam the first time.

The basic rule is very simple. Red means stop. Yellow means caution.
When answering questions about the yellow traffic light, it can, however, be a bit more tricky.
A traffic light with a steady circular yellow light tells you that the light is about to change to red. Normally, you must not proceed into the intersection if you can stop safely. If you have already entered the intersection, or cannot stop safely before entering, you must proceed with caution.
A common mistake on a written test is to ignore alternatives that say you must stop.
Before taking the real knowledge exam, please check the Driver’s Manual in your state. If you find wordings like: “You must stop if it is safe to do so” or “When you see the yellow light, stop if you can do so safely”, you can expect this question to show up in your exam.
See the following example:
When approaching a yellow traffic signal:
- Stop before entering the intersection, as long as you can do so safely.
- Slow down and yield to all cross traffic.
- Slow down and cross the intersection carefully.
The first alternative is the correct one.

Whether you are a high school student getting ready for prom, getting married, or just planning a special event, you might be thinking of hiring a limo.
There are usually many quality limousine companies to choose from. But remember, if the price seem to be too good to be true… Then, it usually is.
Be careful!
Always check references and if the company is licensed by the state before you hire.
In most states limousine operators are required to be licensed, carry sufficient liability insurance and undergo annual safety inspections on all their vehicles.
Too often, unlicensed companies are putting passengers unknowingly at risk. Unlicensed drivers may not be properly trained to operate and maintain these specialty vehicles, which poses a threat to any passenger. In addition, illegally run companies most likely don’t have insurance to cover costs in case of an accident.
To find out if the limousine service you plan to use is licensed by the state, visit your state’s website and check what is required. If you do not see the business listed, or you do not see it listed as a limousine company, call and ask about state rules and the company in question.
