Over 200,000 SafeWay drivers!

The driving team at SafeWay has successfully trained over 200,000 drivers since our inception in 1973. For 37 years we have put students first in our top-rated training system promoting Collision Free Driving by actively engaging the drivers attention at all times. Our certified system has been commended by many noted educators and driving experts and even produced a professional race car driver from our very own school!

What is teen driver training really worth?

Every parent has to go through it.

The feeling of complete terror when you have to accept your teenager is actually going to drive! We worry about their safety and about the safety of those on the road around them, especially when we consider the facts:

• Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens*
• Everyday, more than 10 young drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 die in car crashes!*
• Per mile driven, teens are FOUR times more likely to crash than other drivers**
• Over 350,000 teens are treated in emergency rooms for injuries in wrecks**

Do we really HAVE to let them drive? Of course. But while all teenage drivers lack experience, many of them also seem to lack any significant level of confidence, which is a prerequisite to being on today’s aggressive roadways.
