Literally.  Bring a good book to read.  Like any course it depends on the Instructor.  First time is interesting.  Re-Certifications get old.

I took some defensive driving courses once-upon-a-time when I was considering volunteering for a rescue squad.  It was a great class, and I learned alot.

15 years old just finished 3, 8 hour driver education classes boooooooring.  If it helps get your insurance down it could be worth it though.

When you're done, find out when/where the next local evolution level 1 autocross style course is, and take it.  Whether or not you intend to ever race your car, you'll find the course worthwhile and fun.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Good grades also keep insurance low.  That's my trick.


Oh, and not having a noodle.  That keeps it down.

Ripsnort,

Have you ever considered that you are weird?

Perhaps, outside of the 'norm'?

Idle questions.
