DADAP

DADAP stands for Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program. DADAP is targeted at drivers in the age range of 16-24 and teaches students to avoid the pitfalls of driving after using drugs or drinking alcohol. Basic information about alcohol and driving is supplemented with DTA's unique "PAC" concept, which helps students understand and identify the ways in which attitude contributes to problem driving behaviors.

Driver Training Associates' DADAP course was the first such course approved by the Texas Education Agency, and since approval our course has been taken by thousands of Texas drivers for insurance discounts and court referrals.

Taking the DADAP Course for an Insurance Discount

Texas law (76[R] HB 3757) authorizes a 5% automobile insurance discount for any Texas driver who completes the DADAP course. Furthermore, a Texas driver who completes a 32-hour Driver's Education Course or a 6-hour Driving Safety Course is eligible for a 10% automobile insurance discount, plus an additional 5% discount if he or she completes a DADAP course. This amounts to a total insurance discount of 15%! Drivers who wish to obtain these discounts should first confirm their eligibility by contacting their automobile insurer.

Taking the DADAP Course to Fulfill a Court Requirement

The DADAP course is also required by certain courts when an individual has been convicted of an alcohol and / or traffic related offense. Texas law authorizes attendance of a TEA approved DADAP course for satisfaction of several different types of offenses.
