Governor urges all drivers to
take defensive driving course

week urged Texas motorists to

opportunity as a means of
improving their driving skills,
while at the same time reducing

ance premiums.

Course, a joint venture of the
Texas Safety Association and
the national Safety Council, is a
statewide campaign to reduce
highway deaths, injuries and
property damage through
driver improvement training.
"This course, which is offered
throughout Texas, will not only
improve the driver's ability to
cope with emergencies while
driving, but will give the driver
an automatic 10 percent
insurance discount for a
three-year period on policies
written by companies which are
rate-regulated by the State
Board of Insurance," Governor
Briscoe said.
The eight-hour classroom
course teaches crash avoidance
techniques used by professional
drivers. About 400,000 Texas
drivers have taken the course
since Sept. 1972.
Studies have shown the
Defensive Driving Course
graduates have far fewer
accidents after completion of
the course, the Governor
pointed out.
Two Defensive Driving
Courses were offered in
Canadian last year under
auspices of the Canadian
Jaycees. Further information
about the Defensive Driving
Course is available from sny
District Office of the Texas
Department of Public Safety or
the Texas Safety Association,
P.O. Box 9345, Austin, Texas
78766.
"While the State Board of
Insurance is to be commended
for their efforts in holding down
automobile insurance rate
increases well below the
nation's inflationary level, all
Texas motorists can take steps
of their own to cut down on
auto insurance costs, and the
most important of these is to
take the Defensive Driving

AUSTIN-Jobless workers
who are not eligible for
unemployment compensation
may possibly qualify for a new
type of benefits, Special
Unemployment Assistance
(SUA), according to Henry
Rothell, administrator of the
Course," Governor Briscoe
said.
"The 10 percent insurance
discount provided DDC gradu
ates is certainly a strong
incentive in these days of
constantly rising costs.
Furthermore, I would
encourage motorists to follow
the suggestion of Insurance
Board Chairman Joe Christie
and 'shop around' for
insurance companies which
offer competitive rates. In some
instances these competitive
rates offer discounts up to IS
percent," the Governor added.
