In announcing the new programs, Lawrence Gentilucci, TSC's Director ofOperations, remarked: "TSC strives to provide programs that areinteresting, educational, and easy to use, and our Online DefensiveDriving Course is consistent with that theme." He noted that thewhimsical, easy-to-read text is supplemented with informative photos,colorful charts and illustrations, as well as streaming video clips thatengage the student and thoroughly explain the subject matter.
