For my past driving record in the state of MASS. even though I am resident of VA for 5 plus years now, I was required to take a defensive driving class to «clear» records for MA. Beyond frustrated with this proposal from our DMV, since all my reckless driving stemmed from a decade ago, I called around the various independent companies to research taking this 8 hr course. The admin lady for AABLE was incredibly nice, genuine, and spent time with me answering all my questions. Arriving at their office Saturday not knowing what to expect, I was INSTANTLY relaxed and actually enjoyed sitting through this long tedious class re-learning the basics of driving! The Instructor, Maurice, a former Marine, was engaging, fun, and had a world of knowledge! He actually dug deeper than the standard curriculum and made us really think about the consequences of our driving habits. I highly recommend this class to anyone with AABLE that wants to go as a volunteer or is required by the state. If you go as a volunteer, it increases your driving points by 5, well worth it!
