I just passed my Washington State driving test this morning, and I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Jimmy Green, who was both my warm-up instructor and skills test examiner at Defensive Driving School (U District). Jimmy is incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely easy to talk to. From the moment our session began, he helped calm my nerves with his gentle demeanor and constant encouragement. He didn’t just teach—he reassured, supported, and even praised me when I did things right, which made such a difference in bu... read more
I recently had the opportunity to take my driving test at the DMV, and I was fortunate to have Jimmy Green as my examiner. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding thanks to his professionalism and thoughtful approach. Jimmy was incredibly considerate and supportive throughout the test. Before we even began, he took a moment to have a short conversation with me. That small gesture made a huge difference—it helped ease my nerves and set a calm, welcoming tone. Creating a stress-free environment is essential durin... read more
I had a fantastic experience at Defensive Driving School, where I took both the warm-up session and the driving skills test. My examiner, Jimmy Green, was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. His calm and supportive approach made a huge difference, especially in easing my nerves before the test. The warm-up session was extremely helpful—it allowed me to get comfortable with the car, practice key maneuvers, and receive valuable last-minute tips. When it was time for the skills test, Jimmy provided clear inst... read more
My experience at Defensive Driving School was very positive. I have previous driving experience, so I did not take any instructional lessons. But scheduling the written and driving test was efficient and easy. During the driving test itself, Jimmy G. - who was an amazing tester/instructor - gave me such useful advice during the 30-minute warm-up segment (highly recommended). When it came to the driving test itself, it went very smoothly. Highly recommend Defensive Driving School at UW, and Jimmy for the driving test!
I had a good experience at the U District defensive driving school. My instructor Lukas was articulate and professional, and my one-hour driving lessons and the warm-up before the test were extremely effective and efficient. Lukas was always able to cover everything in the exam during the lessons, and gave a lot of real-time feedback as I was driving. Another thing I liked was that he was honest and transparent about my progress, and I did not feel the pressure to sign up for more classes when he thought I was ready. The cla... read more
