Bill Summary
For legislation to require driver's education instruction in defensive driving. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to require driver's education instruction to include a supervised defensive driving course. The defensive driving course would go beyond teaching just the rules of the road and basic mechanics of driving, and would aim to reduce the risk of collisions by training drivers to anticipate dangerous situations and respond appropriately, even in adverse conditions or when others make mistakes. The course must comply with the ANSI/ASSE Z15.1 standard and be approved by the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
