DEFENSIVE SKILLS DAY

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

ABOUT OUR COLORADO DEFENSIVE DRIVING 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.

The instructors were very helpful and patient.

They did well at engaging all the students at once. They made it fun and I had a good time.

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!

Auto Insurance Discount

Your auto insurance company likely offers a discount for taking a course that teaches defensive driving techniques.

According to WalletHub, successful completion of approved defensive driving courses can save Colorado drivers 5-10% on their monthly auto insurance premium. Many of our students who complete our defensive driving classes find that the amount saved from the auto insurance discount covers the cost of our defensive driving course!

Check with your auto insurance company to find out whether defensive driving classes could save you money on your monthly premium.
