Drive Safer

This class was worth every penny. The program was extremely well organized, and every single person participating was smiling. I accompanied my child who needed more practical experience, but after spending the day watching, I would like to take the class myself. He learned how it really feels to speed around corners, to stop short, to ride on water, etc. Skilled teachers accompanied him for every skill, and gave great feedback. By the end of the day, his driving was substantially improved, my comfort level with his ability to handle adverse situations increased, and he had a great time. I’d highly recommend this class to new drivers as well as to experienced drivers.

Shortly after posting this review I received a call from someone at Drive Safer. That person claimed that the reason why I was not able to get in touch with someone and why no one called me back was because of the holiday (Mother’s day). After that conversation, I received another call from someone else. He said he had read my review on Unilocal and wanted to know if there was anything that he could do to get me to delete or change my review. To which I responded, «quickly process my refund.» He explained that the company was going through changes … etc. In all, the excuses sounded viable. However, when I pay for a service I like it to be reliable. The bottom line … I wouldn’t use this company again; and I wouldn’t recommend it.

My 17 year old son took the Drive Safer clinic today at the Hurricane Harbor parking lot at Six Flags. What a great experience for him! At first, we balked at the price, but this was a full 6 hours behind the wheel doing really cool things like a slalom course at a higher speed, going in tight circles on the skid pad, getting to over 50 mph and slamming on the brakes… the adults were wishing we were behind the wheel. It is such a great opportunity to see how a car maneuvers under extreme situations before you are in one for real! My husband, 12 year old son and I watched from a safe distance and we were very impressed with the entire experience. The staff is very professional yet they make it very fun. We highly recommend this clinic. An added bonus… our insurance will go down because our son took another safety course. I, for one, feel a lot more relaxed and confident about our son’s driving abilities!

I took Drive Safer’s defensive driving course on June 8^th and really impressed with how well thought out the whole day was. The classroom session before was really informative and a great introduction for what was to come. As for the actual course… it was awesome! You really learn how to communicate with your car in all types of situations. The driving instructors are all super enthusiastic, the whole time they are cheering you on and encouraging you to get out of your comfort zone which creates a really good environment for you to learn in. I would recommend this course to all ages, it is not just for the teen driver, I have been driving for 7 years and still learned a few new things. Great job Drive Safer!

Nice course, friendly people, I was having fun during the training. The defensive driving course was very helpful for young drivers like me to get more experience before driving on the road. The driving course simulate some emergency accidents that may happen on the road. I experienced how it would feel like when something unexpected happens during the course. After the program, I’m pretty confident that I will not panic and know how to deal with it when facing with emergency on the road. BTW: You can reduce 2 points after the course.

I’m not going to lie – I was skeptical about the drive safer course. I mean sure it would be informative and helpful, but would it be fun? If I was going to be spending a good chunk of my Sunday taking this course, I needed it to be something I would enjoy and I must admit, it completely exceeded my expectations — in a positive way! I learned a lot during the classroom session, like why you should hold the steering wheel with two hands at 9 and 3 (I won’t give the answer away here– you can take the course to find out why!). When it came to the course itself, I had a blast! The instructors were so friendly and charismatic. They genuinely want you to learn and master the different skills. Who knows when I will have the chance to whip around in tight circles or completely floor it without having to worry about getting a ticket or in an accident again? I highly recommend this course to people of all ages! It is great for teens learning to drive or adults who want to refresh their memory on how to handle their cars in different situations. And yes, I said «their» cars! The best part about this course is that you use your own car! You get to see how your own car handles each situation!

Going to Drive Safer’s defensive driving course was an awesome decision! When I began the course, I was under the impression the teachers were going to be similar to teachers at driving schools and tell me to break constantly to the point of scaring me to step on the gas. I was dead wrong. After I attempted the first exercise my instructor told me, «Stop. What is wrong with you?» «What?» I responded. «You barely touched the gas, forget about the break pedal, for the rest of the day your only hitting the gas pedal.» From there on the day was an absolute blast. I was doing everything my parent’s told me not too in a controlled environment with instructors who really seemed to know what they were talking about. To make the day even better, I found out afterwards that with this little piece of paper I got that looked more like a participant award, I could save 120 bucks a year on my car insurance. The course made me feel much more confident on the road without the fear of having to hover over my breaks constantly. It was totally worth waking up for.
