Defensive Driving Course in Rhinebeck, NY

I recently attended a class on Defensive Driving Course in Rhinebeck, NY. at my local insurance company. True- it was a win/win venture; saving me money on my car insurance while making the roads safer in Rhinebeck NY for myself and others.

I would like to pass along this message to you-- Is the time you save worth the Risk and the Money?

In Germany they tested speed and time in two experiments, both demonstrating the same outcome. One driver was told to make the best time he could on a 1000 mile journey; the second driver was told to avoid risk and move as the traffic flow permitted. The fast driver finished 31 minutes ahead of the slow driver after nearly 1000 miles. After all the braking and passing the same conclusion came from the second test of 800 miles only a time of 21 minutes was saved. The fast driver used ten more gallons of gas on this 800 mile trip. What was gained and what was lost?

" Perhaps an elderly gentleman who had just completed a 50 mile ride to Des Moines with his grandson said it best years ago. The youngster, out to show grandpa how a car ought to be driven, kept the speed limit most of the way, passing frequently , and occasionally dangerously , until he finally pulled up in front of the hotel. Quite a trip, huh, grandpa said the grandson? Yep, said grandpa gravely I figure we saved all of one-tenth of a second. Now what do you suppose we should do with it?"
