JJ Keller Defensive Driving for CMV Drivers - DVD Training

This defensive driving training program helps drivers develop their defensive driving skills.

In order to avoid injury, or worse, death, drivers need to understand what defensive driving really means and what unique challenges a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver faces... even for veteran drivers.
