About Defensive Driving School today is the combination of local traffic safety programs which have a long history in the Seattle area. In 2001 the Fawcett family, owners of Defensive Driving School, joined forces with Seattle Driving School, the area’s pioneer driving school which was established in 1945. In January of 2006, Kirshner Driving School, which was formed in 1949, joined the Defensive Family.

I completed all my driving classes and passed my test here, and the experience was outstanding. The school offers incredibly flexible scheduling, which was a big advantage compared to other driving schools. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and very friendly. A special shoutout to Walter Avillanoza and Ahmed Kmail! Both instructors were patient and provided valuable tips that have been extremely helpful in my driving journey.
I signed up for a warm up test followed by a road test with Walter Avillanoza, and I had an absolutely excellent experience. His clear instructions during the warm up session were incredibly helpful and I successfully passed the exam. I highly recommend booking a test with Walter Avillanoza, as he provided great tips and instructions and made the entire experience stress free.
I want to thank Ahmed so much! He's like a mentor, incredibly patient with me especially because not everyone has the patience for a slow learner like me. He's always willing to explain things again and again, without ever getting irritated or annoyed. He helped me overcome my driving anxiety. I remember having a class with another instructor (I won't mention his name), but he was very rude and impatient. I felt hopeless because I didn't think anyone else could help. Driving anxiety made me find excuses to avoid it altogethe... read more
Had a horrible driving test experience with an instructor named John in 2019. I could not understand a single word he said. He was quite impatient during the test, kept making weird faces, and passed rude comments the whole time. He looked like he was high or something. Would not recommend going to this place. Edit - Yes, that's right. I passed the test as soon as I switched to a different driving school. Anyway, I acknowledge my error during the second attempt for a violation of the law (rolling stop), which I only realize... read more
I took both my knowledge and skills tests at this location. The instructor for my skills test had a thick accent and didn't give clear directions. For instance, she asked me to park behind a white car, but there were two white cars. When I asked which one, I could tell she was getting irritated, which made me very nervous. She then said to go into the driveway, and I interpreted as to back up into the driveway. She actually meant to park behind the white car closest to the driveway. If you’re a first-timer or have difficulty... read more
