Letter of Appreciation from a Safa Driving School Student
Your excellent teaching in road safety allowed my wife and I to avoid a potentially serious accident while in Florida as pedestrians. Because a bus was blocking visibility, a careless driver didn't see us crossing at the crosswalk despite the signage, and tried to pass at high speed (about 65 km/h) using the opposite lane. Fortunately, I was alert and stopped in time before continuing, and my wife -- thanks to what I had taught her about road safety -- did the same. Your work at Safa is extremely valuable, well beyond what one might imagine, and I am very proud to have been your student. If that driver had received training as rigorous as yours, he certainly wouldn't have driven so dangerously. I wish you excellent health and a long, successful career at Safa.
