After five years of being qualified to pursue my license, but lacking the confidence to do so, Safer Driving has made the entire ordeal a breeze! Driving with the staff was very enjoyable! You are given a handful of lessons, each allowing you plenty of time behind the wheel for them to assess your performance and provide invaluable advice to ensure that you are confident and SAFE, while maintaining a comfortable pace and a friendly attitude from your first lesson to the end of your test. In a matter of weeks, my confidence has been boosted immensely and driving feels like second nature! I highly recommend them and hope they stick around in this growing town of ours! Read Less

We had a great experience. I'm noticing negative reviews from people who said they did the parent-taught driver's ed for their child, and then declined the $70 pre-test. We did parent-taught driver's ed as well, but we opted to do the pre-test because we knew there were probably things she needed more help on. After our experience, I WOULD NOT WASTE TIME AND MONEY TESTING WITHOUT THE PRE-TEST LESSON if you did AAA, Idrivesafely, or any other parent-taught. Not because SDS is biased against parent-taught, but because unless you are a parent who teaches driving for a living, you are probably missing some components that your child needs in order to be a successful driver. Our daughter's pre-test lesson was well worth the fee. She said she definitely didn't feel like she would have passed without it. "I would not have passed" from our teenager is a pretty solid review. We understand the financial considerations, and we chose idrivesafely because it was affordable. However, having to spend multiple days waiting and pay retest fees would have been a difficulty for us as well. Being able to schedule the test quickly, then show up and take it without waiting hours was great. (All of the appointments available to pre-book at testing centers across the state were taken weeks in advance. We were able to get in here much more quickly.) If you did parent-taught driver's ed, and if there is ANY way you can swing the pre-test, I highly recommend it. I wouldn't feel comfortable paying the testing fee and turning her loose on the roads without doing it, because she would not have been ready. If we are able to, we will pay for our other children to take driver's ed through Safer Driving School, rather than parent taught. Definitely worth their safety to have professionals whose main focus is teaching students to drive safely on a daily basis. Read Less

If you've truly taken the time to work with and teach your child, put in the hours of driving, and know they studied for it, take your kid elsewhere. Talked to other kids who paid for the training, paid for the pre-test, and then weren't required to demonstrate skills like parallel parking, that my kid was told she failed on. According to my wife and child, an attitude was detected as soon as she said that we chose to use the AAA parent taught program instead of theirs, and that we hadn't chosen to pay to do the "pre-test" prior to paying to take the test. My child, after failing the test, was not given any kind of documentation as to what she specifically failed. She said she was told she was docked because she waited too long to make a turn. I was not aware it was illegal to take a little extra time if you're unsure of traffic. I would rather any kid take a little extra time if they're not comfortable with something, especially if they're not blocking any other traffic. Once again, nothing in writing from the school so that we know what she needed to work on or failed. I've spent the time driving with my child, and teaching her how to parallel park, but maybe she legitimately failed? I'll never know, because we got nothing in writing to address how she did. But from talking to other students, pay for their school, pay for the pre-test, and you basically pay for your kid to pass. Doesn't mean they know how to drive, or that they'll even have to demonstrate the skills that my daughter was required to show, but you'll apparently save them the heartache of failing a driving test.

Best Driving School in the area!!! Both my boys went through this program. They took the class and passed the permit test the first time. They teach the students what they need to know to be good drivers. The 6 hours of behind the wheel driving taught my boys things that I had forgotten since I've been driving for so long. I would highly recommend this school. Read Less

The examiner failed me because i didnt pay the extra $70 for a pretest, he kept going on about how i would pass if i paid it. i was not about to pay $120 for an uptight jerk to graciously award me with the license i deserve. i would not recommend going to this place.Read Less
