About Defensive Driving School today is the combination of local traffic safety programs which have a long history in the Seattle area.

I was not a natural driver, and many of my instincts on the road didn’t work at all. I had to learn from the very beginning, fighting my anxiety every day. Throughout the whole process, Marc was an exceptional instructor. He is very calm, extremely knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. He built my confidence little by little, and now I’ve passed the test! I definitely recommend him without any doubt.
This is a great driving school to go to, especially if you are an anxious driver like me. Before taking classes here, I was having panic attacks behind the wheel and barely able to practice. Tina did a great job empathizing and setting me up with a lesson plan that worked for me, and Marc is an incredibly kind and calm instructor who made the learning process so easy. I'm now way more confident behind the wheel, able to drive everywhere including freeways, and I just passed my skills test when I previously thought I'd never ... read more
Thanks to Defensive Driving School in Kirkland, I am now a newly licensed driver. I took the online study-guide course, which was incredibly helpful in passing the knowledge test. I also took a few driving lessons with Walter, who is a great instructor. I’ve had anxiety about driving for a very long time, so I was a bit nervous at first, but Walter was patient and offered valuable and practical tips to all my driving questions and concerns. I would recommend DDS to anyone who is new to driving or looking to improve their... read more
Had an amazing experience with Walter Avillanoza at the Kirkland and Redmond Center. He was patient and polite, explained the rules very well at the start and gently guided through the drive. I took two lessons from him and it greatly improved my driving and I was able to pass the driving test in first attempt. I am an immigrant and was new to left hand driving which is different from my home country and several of my friends had bad experiences at other schools and instructors, but Walter was patient, precise and just a lov... read more
DDS is great! The Zoom class is way more engaging than I thought it would be, and I learned a lot. My instructor, Clay, was amazing; they explained the material quite well, made sure it was interesting, and answered questions whenever possible. The class doesn’t just teach laws, either, but makes sure students learn about how to drive safely and react to drivers who aren’t, car insurance, maintenance, how to buy a car, and more. The written tests sum up the material nicely. The driving instructors are patient and do a wonder... read more
