My 16 year old son currently on a NJ learner's permit had the following comments about his experience with Drive Safer:
Drive Safer was a really a great experience! At first I wasn’t very interested in going but when I got there, I had a blast! All of the courses are designed to put you as a driver and your car under stress. This sounds bad but it was great. I learned to use the ABS and how to get out of a skid. They have an awesome thing called the skid pad which was by far my favorite part of the course. The skid pad is a track that is covered in water and soap so it is slippery and acts like ice on a road. You drive around and around but while you are doing this your car is sliding out. The instructor does a great job of coaching you on what to do.
Not even two months after I took the course, I needed to put the skills I learned to the test. I hit several patches of black ice while driving down the very steep hill in front of my house. The car began to spin out and fish tail. I finally got the car back around thanks to everything I learned. Had it not been for my training at Drive Safer, I do not think the outcome would have been the same. I would like to thank Drive Safer for a great experience! I can definitely recommend this company and their programs. It really does help to learn in advance what to do for when things go wrong.

I am a driver instructor for New Life Driving School A Drive Safer Certified Driving School I took the Drive Safer Defensive Driver Course in October of last year. I have been driving for 51 years and after taking the course I realized there was a lot more to learn about driving. I am glad my boss required me to take the course. I highly recommend it to any young driver.

I took this course as part of my certification to become a driving instructor for Fallon's Driving School. It was one of the most interesting and insightful days of my driving career. I have always loved driving, but taking this course showed me that I really can handle myself in stressful emergency situations. The experience of actually feeling how the car handles in the various scenarios we practiced allowed me the confidence to know that, if a driving situation arises, I would be able to protect myself and the ones I love. This course is intended for teen and beginning drivers, but I would highly recommend this course for anyone who drives, no matter how long they have been driving. It is not just for kids!

When the boss requested that all the driving instructors at Fallon's Driving School take the Drive Safer course I thought to myself "what could this Drive Safer course possibly teach me that I already didn't know with over 40 years of driving under my belt?". Low and behold after taking the Drive Safer Defensive Driving course, I see an improvement of my car control skills in bad weather as well as a better understanding of my cars performance capability. And who said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks?"
The Drive Safe staff was very knowledgeable and the extra training we received gives us bragging rights that Fallon's Driving School is a Drive Safer Certified Driving School! I would definitely recommend this course for new drivers and seasoned drivers too.

The Drive Safer defensive driving course was a really great experience! I learned so much about driving, the roads, and my car, and gained experience that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to have. I feel a lot better knowing that if I ever find myself in an dangerous situation (whether it be because of other drivers, weather, etc.) I will know what to do. This is something that worried me as a teen driver, but I am now much more confident in my abilities and in my safety. Drive Safer is better than any other driving school I have had experience with because they actually teach you what YOU need to do in YOUR own car. Besides all that, it was actually a lot of fun. The certified professional instructors are so nice and fun to be around. They push you to go faster and faster and to really get the most out of the experience. I can't imagine any other time I'd be able to gun my car and slam on the brakes without putting myself or others in danger. They even gave my mom a rose for mother's day!

Surprisingly, I had a thrill at the course. I wasn't expecting to have a good time, first because I was rudely awoken by my alarm to get up on a Sunday morning. But not sleeping through it was an awesome decision by me. They put us into groups where we were taught how to swerve in and out of cones. Then, they even let us do some of the infant stages of drag racing. I felt like I was Paul Walker from Fast and Furious for the day. Overall, the defensive driving course covered everything the driving school left out. After completing the course, I know the ins and outs of driver safety, and am confident I'm one of the best teen driver's on the road to date.

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!

Taking this course was a condition for my sons to be able to use my car. It was a great experience for them and they gained knowledge for a lifetime behind the wheel. Totally worth every penny!

A great experience! Took the class with my 17 year old son. The skills that they teach are PRICELESS! My son totalled our new car 1 week after getting his DL- I was in he car with him- and we are truly blessed not to have been injured or killed. The accident was due to driver inexperience and there is no doubt in my mind that the skills he learned at Drive Safer would have either prevented or severely limited the severity of the accident. As a parent, you will rest much easier knowing that your child has these advanced skills. The discount on your auto insurance pays for the class! I took the class as well and after 30 years of 15k a year driving, I still learned a few new tricks. The instructors were very knowledgeable, supportive and fun. Definitely sign up your new drivers!!!
