June 03, 2009 - Only humorous program approved by New York State DMV, Lowest Price Offering in New York, Allows drivers to Laff n’ Save. Now drivers have an alternative option – Improv Aware Driver, created in partnership with the famous Improv Comedy Club. Featuring a humorous curriculum utilizing entertaining video clips and comic strips, Improv Aware Driver, available at www.MyImprovNewYoork and presented by the National Point and Insurance Reduction Course, uses the company’s well-known “edutainment” approach to help New York drivers to Save on their insurance.
In addition, of being the least expensive offering of its kind in New York at $37.95, Improv relies on a cutting-edge technology that analyzes key strokes to verify the identification of each participant so that students never have to take a final exam nor have to visit a proctored location for identity verification.
“Improv’s Aware Driver Course is based on the simple notion that a defensive driving course does not need to be dry and boring and that people actually learn more when they enjoy the process,” said Gary Alexander, founder. “While we appreciate the seriousness of the subject, our goal is to educate drivers on the rules of the road and if we can have fun doing it, then that’s just an added benefit. With almost 40,000 deaths nationwide that result from car crashes, it’s important for every state to have a driver education programs that works”
Aware Driver is one of the few courses in the nation that has been proven effective in reducing BOTH traffic crashes and violations. According to an efficacy study of Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) courses in Florida conducted by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DSHMV) on behalf of the legislature,
Improv gained notoriety in the driver training field in the early 1980’s when its founder Gary Alexander partnered with Budd Friedman and his partner Mark Lonow at the famous Improvisation Comedy Club to create an alternative offering for motorists. Based on a simple notion that when you enjoy the learning process you simply learn more, Alexander has grown Improv to become one of the largest and most respected driver training schools in the country. Since its inception, almost two million students have taken Improv’s classes in both classroom and online settings.
As with all New York DMV-approved programs, Improv;s Defensive Driving Course allows New Yorkers to qualify for a mandatory 10% three-year insurance discount and receive a four point reduction on their driving record. While the course must be completed within 30 days of registration, it is available 24/7, allowing participants to log into www.MyImprovNewYork.com as many times as they like to finish at their own pace. Upon completion of this defensive driving course, students are mailed a certificate that can be submitted to their insurance company and the New York DMV is notified for an automatic reduction on the driver’s active point total by up to four points, a process that can be done every 18 months.
Improv utilizes a Biometric 8-Point ID Verification, a cutting-edge technology that verifies the identification of every participant, so that students do not have to visit a third-party notary public for validation or testing. Developed during World War II to recognize individual Morse Code operators sending out German messages, the Biometric ID Verification first confirms each student’s identity and then ensures the same person participates in the course by identifying unique typing sequences.
Added Alexander, “Because of this verification process, a student can complete the course 100% online, eliminating the need for a comprehensive assessment testing upon completion. It truly has never been easier to take a defensive driving course in New York.”
