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

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
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
Currently signed up and no behind the wheel driving lessons available until December. Classes for this group began at the end of September. If you want to pay this company over $700 only for you to teach your own student how to drive yourself then sign up! They sign up LOTS of students for their Zoom classes and then cannot provide driving lessons to these students until 2 months after they complete the Zoom class and tell kids to drive 2-3 hours with their parents a week during the Zoom classes and do not offer nearly en... read more
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!
