Bob T.
Would have been 5, but the super security is annoying,
Response from New York Safety CouncilJul 27, 2026
Hi Bob, thank you for the feedback! We understand the identity verification process can feel like an extra step, but it is a state requirement to ensure the integrity of course completion. We appreciate your patience with it and hope to earn that 5th star next time!
Beth
The course was interesting and helpful, although the required time for some of the sections is much too generous. This version is written more carefully and thoughtfully than earlier versions. The in-course video could use a refresh! All-in-all, a painless way to save a few bucks on premiums while reviewing the rules of the road. Thank you.

It was good class. Convenient to take at home. Quizzes were a bit annoying

Chinyere O.
The online course was designed very well. I would have given it a 5 star rating but I took off a star because the evaluation at the end of the course was Al about selling me insurance. I don’t like it. I couldn’t get off it for a while

Pete P.
Program was informative. Little bit slow. Much down time waiting. Voice recognition technology was a pain to use. Good reason to give up.
Response from New York Safety CouncilJul 24, 2026
Hi Pete, thank you for the great review! Being able to learn on your own schedule is one of the things we're most proud of — life is busy and your education shouldn't have to wait for a fixed schedule. We're so glad that worked well for you. Looking forward to seeing you in a future course!

The platform was user friendly and monitored your progress and activity on the site (in a good way). It assured that you were engaged with the content by being interactive or watching videos. I thought the course was informative because I learned things that I did not learn in driving school as a teenager. I would recommend this course to a new driver as well as a refresher for adults that have been driving for years. The only recommendation I have for the safety council is to consider updating the video content and materials to address new technology advances such as EVs and GPS.
