When my appointment was made, she didn’t leave until everything was set, even way past closing hours. I was able to pass thanks to the constant reminders of my errors, praise on what I was doing right, and confidence that they gave me. Thank you safe and sane driving school!!

Stay safe and sane
Negative experience: I had no choice but to give a 1 star review, but it deserves 0. I paid $950 for 15 lessons only for my son to fail on his first attempt at the road test. My son was taught how to parallel park with the assistance of a backup camera, which is considered illegal in New York State when taking a road test. On the day of the road test, the DMV instructor had covered the camera with his hand, leaving my son completely stunned since he wasn’t taught how to parallel park the traditional way. My son also told by the instructors to stay close to the yellow line, which caused him 5 points on the road test for turning too wide. The instructors also did not respect or prioritize my son’s time, as they canceled and rescheduled several appointments. During the classes, the instructors hardly paid attention to my son and preferred to be on their cellphones most of the time. My son initially blamed himself for his inability to pass, but after sending him to another driving school, we came to the realization that the instructors at Safe & Sane did poorly in teaching him.
Negative experience: I purchased a package from this company for driving lessons and before I received my first class they had already texted me to reschedule. They are not mindful of peoples time and availability. For the second class they did the same thing. Whoever is handling this business should rethink their ways because they clearly don’t prioritize clients. I had to ask for a refund, which they provided because I couldn’t bear myself to continue to waste my time.
Fantastic experience: Best people the instructor is very skilled and funny he gave me alot of confidence and he has the best playlist Passed first try

Fantastic experience: ***FIVE STARS*** For over half of my life and being almost at the age of 50, Freddy & Sheryce took me from a place of fear and intimidation and transformed me into a Safe & Sane Driver, confidently passing the road test. The owners, Freddy & Sheryce, provided me with white glove service and supported me throughout the entire process. I will refer every soul I know, without hesitation, to Safe & Sane Driving School. I could not have succeeded without the patient guidance, support, and direction of Safe & Sane Driving School. A month ago, obtaining my driver's license was a dream. Today, it's a reality.

Fantastic experience: This was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a driving school. I’ve been to 2 in Yonkers, but safe and sane was the first one to help with my anxiety. They simplified everything and give me the confidence to pass my driving test on the first try. Fredy and Sheryce were my teachers and they made me feel so comfortable. They provide flexible scheduling and door to door service. I would highly recommend their business to people that have anxiety while learning to drive.
Thank you for your review and kind words. Fredy and i do our best for every student. I am glad we were able to build your confidence so you could earn your license. Now be a Safe and Sane Driver.
Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best driving school in Yonkers. Sheryce is an excellent driving instructor, who focuses on every minor detail and gives you advice on how to improve your driving skills. I really appreciate her time we spent together with our little chats as we practiced driving and most importantly I really want to thank her for building up my confidence and her patience with me. Today was finally the day I got my driving license, something that I've long await, thanks to this fantastic driving school!! Thank you Safe and Sane Driving School and especially to Sheryce!!

My instructor for 5 classes was Freddy and he was the best! He taught me everything I needed to know to pass my Road test and made me more confident to drive. Thanks to this wonderful team I am now licensed.
Janelly!!
Thank you guys for your trust in us to help you obtain your license… on your first try!
Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: I decided to take package 4 since I felt like I was ready for the road test, but that one lesson really did help with any lose ends that could’ve led to potential mistakes, the driving instructor that I was instructed was kind and outgoing person while made me feel less nervous about the lesson, he gave me pointers on parallel parking which was my biggest concerns and thanks to that I was able to pass my road test first try. would definitely recommend this school
Thank you for your review and kind words. Happy that we were able to help you achieve your goal of getting your license.
Have a safe and sane day.
Fantastic experience: This is by far the best driving school I have attended. Sheryce and her husband Freddy not only specialize in getting their customers ready to become professional and safe licensed drivers ( safe and sane drivers ) but they are also great with accessing each driver so they can better help them. Side Bar: A girl didn’t know how to drive, what I was doing wrong, nor did I know techniques to help me become better at driving… but babyyyyy I got trained by both instructors and they helped me understand it very well, I mean to the T.( I know I drove them crazy) but I am so thankful !!!!!! I started out as a “Dangerous and insane driver” But I can now say I have been promoted to a “Safe and Sane driver ️” Thank you so much. It’s a celebration
Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure and fun having you as a student. You taught me some things too. No, you didn't drive us crazy you helped us become better instructors. I am so glad we were able to help you achieve another goal in life. Your are part of the Safe and Sane family.

Fantastic experience: Best driving school in Yonkers hands down. Fredy and Sheryce were both great instructors.

Fantastic experience: This is the the best family owned and operated driving shcool in all of westchester..Freddy is a great instructor and teacher . He took his time with all of my children and did a much better job than I could have teaching my children how to be the best and safest drivers possible ..Not only that but his wife Charice is also one of the nicest persons I've ever met in this industry as well as a great teacher.. PS....they made all of the road test appointments for my children and the administered the required safety courses Thank you so much for making everything so easy.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff at Safe & Sane driving school. Both of my children were giving the best advice and practices to pass the driving test. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: What can I say… I’m that dad that didnt have the patience or nerves to teach my daughter to drive. In all fairness I gave it one shot but that’s all it took before I sent her to Sane and Sane Driving school. She took a bunch of classes with her instructor Fredy and passed her drivers test on the first shoot. She said Fredy took his time and explained everything over and over and over until she got it. I appreciate his patience and effort. If there’s a driving school worth looking into so you can get your license I highly recommend Safe and Sane Driving school. Both Fredy and Sheryce are awesome.
Fantastic experience: i love safe and sane they encouraged me to try hard to get my license and i got it and im so happy they helped me out!!!
YASSS!!! congrats!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving school! Helped me a ton before getting my license. The employees are amazing and very down to earth. I’d recommend this school to anyone looking to pass their drivers exam!
Fantastic experience: Fredy & Sheryce were awesome! The attention to detail they both gave my daughter teaching her how to drive is second to none. Safe & Sane hands down is the best driving school around!!
Fantastic experience: I had my driving lesson in this place and took my road test and got passed in 1 try. This is place is perfect for you if want to make sure to get prepared in road test. You will never go wrong in this place. Look for freddy the perfect driving instructor. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Safe and Sane Driving School. My son started lessons as soon as he got his permit and it was very easy to find times to schedule. Even with my son’s busy work schedule. The instructor would pick up my son at home and give him lessons throughout various areas in our city. Lots of practice with parking, highway driving and proper technique. And the best part is that they picked him up for the drivers test (which the school scheduled for us) and gave him a little refresher right before. He passed easily. Great experience.
Thank you for the review and helping us get back on top here on google . Your son Liam was an absolute pleasure to teach. So happy he got his license on the first try. Make sure he stays safe and sane on the road.
