DriveSafe Driving Schools - Littleton/Lakewood

Fantastic experience: Lucas was outstanding with his supportive and informative instruction. I appreciated his patience, calm demeanor and expertise. I would highly recommend him and DriveSafe Driving Schools. The staff are invested in educating all drivers regardless of age!

Negative experience: I attended the 30 hour course here and the experience was fairly alright, I had a really great teacher who actually showed interest in teaching us, and truly wanted us to be fully prepared to start driving safely. However there was a few things that I did not appreciate in the class personally, one being the fact that they showed videos of traumatic stories involving teens in roadway accidents, some of which were fatal. This may not affect others the same way it did to me, but it really killed my motivation to drive, and honestly gave me severe anxiety while on the road. Which is ironically the opposite of driving safely. The second thing that bothered me is that the methods that are used to teach are extremely outdated and no longer work too well. They also showed old Instructional videos from ages ago that are not relevant in modern times. I ended up getting a 100% on my permit test though which was pretty nice. When it came time to start doing the instructor drives, I actually had an amazing time! All of the instructors were kind and patient with me, and genuinely wanted me to progress and get better. I feel like I honestly wouldn’t be as confident as I am now if it weren’t for them. I’ve had a really slow and rough driving journey. I recently just turned 18, so I am no longer required to have a certain amount of hours to take the license test, But this is where my main problems start. For my first attempt on the test, I was put into a new car that was entirely different from the ones I had done the instructor drives in. So I had to relearn the feeling of a whole new car in 20 minutes. And when we brought this up afterwards, the receptionist told me it’s all my fault, and that I have to learn how to drive different vehicles, as if we’re always getting new cars in our household. I could tell my instructor was probably a nice guy, but he really stressed me out and was super tense the whole drive. It made me feel uncomfortable and it caused me to make errors that I would never otherwise make. For my second attempt, I was in one of the cars I was more comfortable with. And my instructor was nice too, but this time I lost points on things that I hadn’t lost on the first attempt. There really seems to be a lack in knowledge and training because I had both instructors saying different things about rules on the road, the first one didn’t mention anything about signaling in roundabouts, but the second one took points away for not. And after failing the tests they made me feel like I killed someone, instead of helping me to improve it seemed like they were just calling me a road hazard, and I’ve never felt more discouraged in my life. Afterwards they also basically just pushed us out the door and said welp, for $100 you can do it again! All in all this was a terrible experience for me personally, maybe it’ll work for others but not for me.

Fantastic experience: My daughter just finished her permitting yesterday and passed her driving test on the first try. We really appreciate all the training that the classes and ride-along provided. Definitely recommend DriveSafe for new drivers!
