Club Ed offers new online defensive driving course

Hill Country drivers seeking ticket dismissal or insurance discount can now attend a new online driving course offered exclusively through Club Ed.

Gently's Driving is a new program being offered in Texas for the first time, according to Jerry Caywood, who helped develop the program.

Gently's Driving is approved and regulated by the Texas Education Agency for Ticket Dismissal in the state of Texas, in all Texas Courts. Many insurance companies offer a discount on automobile insurance for successfully completing an approved Defensive Driving Course. According to Caywood, the typical discount is 10% on liability coverage for a 3-year period (it is always recommended to check with local court or insurance agent prior to taking the course).

Anyone can sign up for the online course though Club Ed. Go to the web site www.clubed.net, click on Courses, then follow the link to the driving school.

The cost for ticket dismissal is $25; the cost for insurance discount is $20. A certificate is provided upon successful completion.

Club Ed is the community education program of the Kerrville Independent School District. Each session they offer more than 160 local classes, and hundreds more online. More information is available by calling Club Ed at 830-257-2218.
