Yes.

'safe' is a flat adverb. That's an adverb that doesn't have to have 'ly' on the end.

No. That is marketing talk. "Safe" is an adjective, and only an adjective, so "drive" is forced to be copulative, as if it was "keep safe" or "be safe", and it is not. It creates the sort of clash in the mind that advertisers love, but it is not good English. You should drive safely.
