With winter in full swing, icy weather can lead to dangerous road conditions and accidents. Have you ever thought about taking a defensive driver course? Not only are these types of courses good practice, but they can also qualify you for a discount on your auto insurance. Kansas Insurance Commissioner, Vicki Schmidt, encourages those with automobile coverage to consider taking a defensive driving course and to ask about discounts from their insurer.
State law requires companies providing auto insurance to provide a discount based on proof of an approved vehicle accident-avoidance course. Eligible courses will allow Kansas insureds to receive a discount for a three-year period. To renew after the three-year period, just simply complete another approved accident prevention class. How much will the discount be? All insurance companies provide varying discounts, but all will provide a discount for approved defensive driving courses. What courses are approved? Auto insurance providers will have a list of courses they accept. Ask your insurance agent about their company approved courses and how to sign up for them.
