English term

driver's safety course

Non-PRO English to Spanish Law/Patents Law (general) law enforcement/traffic law
You may be able to request that this charge be dismissed by taking a driving safety course.

The Spanish version is Usted puede solicitar que esta acusación sea suspendida si toma un curso de manejo de seguridad.


Curso de manejo de seguridad just does not sound right.

What would be a good option to this term?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Could you say "un curso de seguridad y tránsito"?

Curso de manejo defensivo o de conducción defensiva

La conducción defensiva o el manejo defensivo son las técnicas para mantener el control del vehículo en condiciones de emergencia (piso liso, reventón de neumáticos, obstáculos imprevistos). Sin querer ofender a Yolanda, el término "curso de seguridad y tránsito" es demasiado amplio. El curso de conducción defensiva es adicional al curso de conducción y, por cierto, es muy costoso, pero puede salvarnos la vida.

Las dos opciones que creo que serían más comunes. Una búsqueda en google lo respaldaría en ese orden. Suerte
