Safedriving Techniques

I own and operate SafeDriving Techniques and I appreciate sites like these that help to educate consumers. The only problem is that only one side of the story is told and therefore opinions are made. \r \r I wanted to take this opportunity to respond to the previous review This is the first time I ever heard this complaint and I sincerely would have appreciated an opportunity to clarify any statements that may have been misinterpreted. \r \r 1. I do want my customers to be happy, but most of all I want them safe.\r 2. I cannot or will not discriminate against anyone for anything. I tell classes on the first day of discussion on how to obtain a license that it has become more difficult, do to the fact that 4 of the 11 Terroist in the 911 attack obtained a license to drive in Virginia.\r 3. I discuss people carrying weapons in the context of aggressive driving road rage education. News reports prove this. I also make a point of telling them that no matter how tough they think they are, that people who are carrying weapons do not have a particular look. I have never used a weapon other than for practice purposes and have never threatned to use a weapon.\r 4. Women are emotional.\r 5. Is there something wrong with my husband working with me? Successful completion of Classroom is followed by In-Car Instruction and in Virginia you can choose to take this part of the program at another establishment, if you are not happy..\r 6. I provide many educational materials i.e. motor vehicle code to the students and encourgage them to peruse them.\r 7. I do respect the fact that not everyone likes me, but I would have apprecitated the opportunity to discuss this situation with this customer.\r \r Thank you for this opportunity. I did see this as constructive critisism and will make appropriate changes and clarifications in the future. more

My child and two friends completed SafeDriving techniques school this summer and we were not happy for several reasons:\r \r 1) On the first day, the classroom instructor told the class : ""I refuse to teach middle eastern kids to drive because they'll just want to drive car bombs"" She stated that she carries a gun in her car at all times (and has used it) She also said that women should not be police officers as they are too emotional and would shoot someone without thinking. This was all said on the first day of class. The 20+ kids in the class sat in stunned silence according to our two children. \r \r 2) She could not answer several basic questions about Va. driving laws\r \r 3) The behind-the-wheel instructor is her husband. He was impatient and sarcastic with all 3 of the kids. They each said they dreaded driving with him.\r \r I would never recommend this school and urge people to please avoid it. more
