The eight-hour retraining program is held at many locations throughout the state and is typically offered as two four-hour sessions. However, one eight-hour Saturday session may be available in your area. To Enroll in a Driver Retraining course, call the National Safety Council at 1-800-215-1581. 1/09 8:5
