Marty O. was an excellent drive test evaluator. I have a history of pretty severe test anxiety, and had put off getting my license for years because of it. Marty was the proctor for the written exam to get my permit, and he was very professional and encouraging throughout that process. His kindness and positivity finally made me feel ready to schedule the drive test. We met at the test location, and he made sure I had ample opportunity to ask questions and bring forward any concerns before we got started. I had purchased th... read more
I failed the driving test the first time around due to my own testing anxiety; however, I practiced with Nathan and Marty. They truly built up my confidence when driving and I was able to pass the second time around. So grateful for the instructing team here at this branch! I feel so prepared and confident to drive safely on the road now -- all thanks to Marty and Nathan!
If you're looking for a driving school that prioritizes your success and truly equips you with the skills to be a safe, confident driver, look no further than Defensive Driving School. I came to this school after a truly awful experience at another school (911 Driving School UW Location) a while ago. My instructor there was really impatient and unhelpful, and I ended up failing my driving test feeling completely discouraged. Defensive Driving School was a breath of fresh air. From the very first class, my instructor Marty ... read more
Good experience, but I think Marty should have a little patience with those who don't speak English or try to speak it. I could see he was uncomfortable with my English even though I tried to speak it as best as I could. Marty should know that some people don't speak English well and are trying to adapt to a new country and language. He needs to understand that and have patience.
Great driving school! Would recommend!! Clay is a very good instructor and makes learning the material fun and interesting, especially with his real world examples and stories that helped me understand when and where I'd use the information taught. Nathan was very helpful and patient during my course drives and helped me learn the best possible way to do maneuvers and gave honest, helpful feedback and insight on my driving habits. DDS has awesome instructors!
