Drivesafe is a mediocre company at best. Their drive instructors preach a program that they themselves do not adhere to - outside of instructional circumstances. The "hand-Over-hand" technique is outdated and is potentially unsafe. It is best suited for truckers who drive large rigs that are steered using larger and more horizontal steering wheels. Their business model, which crams as many drive instructions as possible in a single day for each drive instructor can lead to dangerous circumstances as fatigue sets in. Many student driver are assessed and passed so long as they satisfy the minimum behind-the-wheel hours necessary to qualify to take the DMV drive test - HOWEVER, not all students who satisfy this minimum BTW time are actually ready and skilled enough to take the DMV test. The company has a high attrition rate and thus a high turnover of drive instructors who themselves take a cash course in drive instruction - lasting only mere hours, before being thrust onto the schedule and paired with inexperienced drivers. The burn-out is evident in most of their drive instructors. The mission of this company is not to properly educate drivers, but to turn a profit by conveyer belt processing of as many drive students as possible.
