I enrolled in Safe Roads Driving Academy to complete my lessons, but I ran into some issues. During my lessons, I wasn't familiar with lane sensors or that they even existed. When the car started beeping, I didn't understand what it meant, and the instructor grabbed the wheel without warning or explanation. In addition, some of the staff and the instructor were rude or impatient, which added to my anxiety and made it harder to focus on learning. This made me feel anxious and unsafe, and I didn't feel comfortable continuing the program so I didnt go back. For future students, it might help if istructors explain the cars alerts and sensors beforehand, and approach students with patience, so learners aren't surprised, anxious, or stressed out during lessons. read more

Definitely not that great. The classwork was good. Now the driving,you have to wait to get an appointment to drive..Sometimes it can be a couple of weeks...If you can't make an appointment,your out of luck...You now have to wait lord knows how long... They only have one car and driver...I tried to go and arrange driving,but guess what,no one is there..You have to make an appointment... We are still waiting to complete the program...I'm now back making calls again...I have a daughter who is trying to get her license...Unfortunately the high school here doesn't offer it...So I have to swim through all the schools and hope I can get something going. read more

Class room was good their strongest part of the experience and after that good luck with your kid getting driving hours. No set schedule, Dianne at the front desk does not respond to your email or concerns. Communication and scheduling very poor. I won't be sending my other children. It's too bad because they have real potential. The owner should care about customer experience, timely and transparent communication. read more

My daughter had a bad experience with them. When she took her road test the instructor and examiner were talking to each other the whole time and she had to ask for clarification of his directions and was ignored. Obviously, she failed. read more

Awesome place to learn to drive! And the driving instructors are so friendly! Best in the area. I recommend to all my friends. read more

I'm not sure how our negative experience with another driving school is being interpreted as "bashing them" when the same reviewer refers to their own negative experience with this school as constructive criticism & they should "take the bad with the good" but ummm ok? Anyways... our 2cnd child just completed the course at saferoads & had the same positive experience her older brother did in 2015. The teacher is professional & thorough & our main concern personally is making sure our children are ready to be on the road without us present. Let me be clear in saying we don't know the people that run this place on a personal level & have never met them prior to signing our oldest up for classes.. we only know that OUR experience, not once but twice now, was 100% a positive one & when it comes time for our youngest to get his license, he too will be sent to Saferoads for training. Thanks again guys! read more

I do not recommend this business, for the following reasons: -Throughout this COVID-19 epidemic, the instructors do not strictly follows the guidelines that they are given, on their own website. -Although there was a mandated cancellation of the 6 additional observation hours, there was no price adjustment in accordance to the change. (They charged the same for 2/3 of the hands-on learning experience.) -The instructors were inconsistent in their teaching... For example, I was initially informed that when parking uphill with a curb, one had to turn the steering wheel to the left. When I actually entered the car and was tested on this, I was told that a "curb" was a judgement call, which made perfect sense, as some would be far more effective than others. Later on in my driving hours, I was told again that I should always turn the wheel to the left if there was a curb. There is far too much contradiction in teaching methods. -They are not clear, concise, and effective in their operations. For instance, when attempting to book a road test, after completing my mandated driving hours, I was told to attempt to book around 3:30 P.M. that same day. I checked in around then, and was unable to book an appointment. I therefore contacted the secretary, who was supposed to be completing this process. I was told to wait until about 7:00 P.M. I attempted to be as accommodating as possible throughout this process, because everybody knows that mistakes happen. At about 12:30 the same day, I checked in. Still not in the RMV's system. Finally, I figured that the RMV simply had not loaded me in, so I checked twice the next day, at 9:00 A.M., and 11:00 A.M. Still not there. Long story short, they are not effective and professional in their operations. 6 Positive Aspects of this Organization: -The instructors are generally congenial individuals, and will try their best to help you. They will not put you in a position that you are not yet prepared for. -Paul was thorough throughout his in-class teaching process, and made it difficult to fail the final test. -Some of the methods of teaching are effective, so long as they are taught consistently throughout. -Chuck is an exceptional teacher, he gives very clear instruction, and it has proven to be quite beneficial. Overall, this organization did not impress me. Unfortunately, I do not have alternative experiences, so I cannot refer to other businesses. That being said, they have earned their two stars due to their sluggishness, inconsistency, and seeming shadiness. The only reasons that they received a second star is because the in-class instruction was solid, and because the instructors seemed to be fairly accommodating, and tried to be helpful. Hopefully this helps. read more

My daughter and I had an outstanding experience dealing with Diane and Paul at Safe Roads. The classes were informative and well run for both the teen and parent. My daughter had no issues scheduling driving and observation hours with Diane. Once she was done with her hours she was scheduled for her road test within a week. She was successful in obtaining her license. I am extremely confident in my daughter's driving skills because of her training with Safe Roads. I will be sending both of my sons there in the next few years. read more

Funny how my son gets KICKED OUT of safe roads for having a bad experience with a driving instructor that made him feel, nervous and feeling berated for making a mistake first time in their vehicle and reviews his opinion on yelp, as being negative , this is what yelp is for!, the only review safe roads has is the one that bashes another driving school and raves about safe roads! only good thing I have to say about safe roads is that they refunded my money, other then that NOTHING, for them to make my son, a kid feel like HE did something wrong is EXTREMELY unprofessional , a business takes good and bad criticism, not just the good getting your license is suppose to be a fun and exciting experience for a 16 year old not a bad one THANKS SAFE ROADS YOU GET 5 STARS for that one, a bad memory for my son read more
