DEFENSIVE SKILLS DAY

Develop potentially life-saving skills during this fun, memorable 3-hour program

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Defensive Skills Day is a 3-hour program on a driving range that offers new drivers the opportunity to learn skills to help them when they encounter challenging situations on the road. Highlights of the defensive driver class include learning how to control a car during a skid and how to maneuver precisely in unexpected situations. Our instructors guide students through the various courses to increase skill and comfort levels. Through repetition and expert tips, we prepare students for life-long safe driving. Defensive Skills Day takes place primarily in the family vehicle, except for the skidding exercise which takes place in DriveSafe vehicles. Defensive Skills Day can be purchased separately or as part of Drivers Education and Behind-the-Wheel Programs.

I love that the Defensive Skills Day was included in our package. Anything that can help a new driver with her/his confidence is a bonus!
Jann E, Denver
My daughter recently attended the Defensive Driving Skills training, which was a great class for a new driver! She came back more confident in her driving skills, and she learned so many important pieces of the driving experience.
Laura H, Westminster
The behind-the-wheel and defensive driving instructors are top notch! Our son learned a lot and gained a lot of confidence from the experience. And he crushed his driver’s test! Thanks Drive Safe!
Shay T, Littleotn/Lakewood
My teenager had great instructors for his day of Defensive Skills Day! He really enjoyed the entire three hours of instruction and I think he is a more confident driver as a result of taking this hands on class.
Donnetta S, Denver
My daughter loved the program, she thought it was very fun and very educational. It boosted her confidence in her driving skills and taught her new tricks in how to handle herself in challenging driving conditions. A well thought out program.
Julie H, Greenwood Village
I have been very pleased with all the driving instructors assigned to my daughter. The Defensive Skills Day is a must! After her Driving Test for her license, she remarked, “I am glad that I went before my Driving Test, otherwise I would not have been able to park properly.”
Jacqueline, Greenwood Village
This is quality service that is second to none. Again thank you for the outstanding service and providing quality programs for better and safe driving skills for our children.
