Defensive Driving Classes
We also offer the National Traffic Safety Institute Six Hour Defensive Driving Classroom Course in person for $ 45. It is USUALLY scheduled for the LAST Saturday of the month at 9:00 am. Please call us in advance to make a reservation.
THIS is the course that will give you a TEN PERCENT discount off your car insurance in New York State.
THIS is the course that can remove up to FOUR points off your license.
THIS is the course that gives you tips that might SAVE YOUR LIFE!
THIS is the course that should be a NO-BRAINER!!!
Our in house course is taught regularly by Nanci Mahlmann, one of the most highly regarded course instructors in the entire state.
The reason for this is because studies prove that participants who take the NTSI Defensive Driving Workshop get into less accidents and receive fewer tickets than drivers who do not take the course.
This course is available to any driver who has either a valid New York State drivers license or learner permit. We recommend drivers take this course prior to passing the State road test exam, or very shortly after. This way the insurance discount will kick in immediately, giving the driver and their family the maximum insurance benefit over the next three years to help reduce sky high premiums that new drivers typically pay.
The State DMV recommends taking a Defensive Driver Course every three years to refresh skills learned and keep the three year insurance discount.

High School Driver Education
Probably the most common inquiry we receive is whether a 16 or 17 year old can take a “Driver Ed Course” at Matty’s or any other commercial driving school, in order to receive a full, unrestricted Class D license at 17 years old.
The answer is “No”. An accredited Driver Education course can only be given by a Department of Education certified High School. These courses are typically 16-week programs, running three hours per week. This is *NOT THE SAME AS TAKING A FIVE HOUR CLASS* and some lessons at a driving school. Without taking the High School 16-week program a student would need to wait until 18 years old to have unrestricted driving privileges.
Many public schools still offer Driver Ed courses at a cost. Some Catholic High Schools, Yeshivas and other private High Schools in the area offer accredited Driver Ed. Programs and allow outside students to attend these programs. Below is the contact for HANC, a reputable, private institution in the area that will allow outside teens to attend their program (based on availability).
