Defensive Driving School and Driver License Testing Location

Yubel siro

I work for another driving school in the area. And I am absolutely appaled and discusted of the horror stories I've heard from here. No care for the students. I've even heard that kids would get covid, and even though the DOL states there are NO DEADLINES AT THIS TIME. , they will say"oh. Well it's too late to finish your class now, but we'll give you a discount". Even if it was a quarter of the price of the next xlosest school. I'd still send them somewhere else. I am completely disappointed and down right discusted with how they do business. And I'm sure they'll try to say something back. But im echoing word of mouth. So if this IS the case. They need to be shut down. They don't care about people's lives and make completly irrational calls with no regard to students health. I will NEVER recommend these guys to ANYONE! Stay away if you value your cash. Watch them delete this cause "wElL YoU wErE NeVeR a sTuDeNt" I've talked with over a dozen, all saying the same thing. Get it together.

KeepingUpWith Des

Place is horrible. They have no understanding when you say you have no car to practice on, they just rather tell you to keep paying again and again to pass. They literally find every little thing you do wrong & don’t care to fail you. If you’re not the worlds perfect driver I wouldn’t advise you to pay your money to take a driving test. I’m a pretty good driver it’s sad that I’m going through hell to get a license in this state due to lack of sympathy, options, & understanding. Never again. ***response it is to my understanding that the prices are extremely unreasonable which is why Washington State is the hardest state to obtain a license. Again, when you don’t have a car to practice with it is in fact harder to pass. that’s where the lack of sympathy or understanding comes in. people make mistakes and we all have our own way of driving. During my two sessions i did the exact same thing except one thing. My second lesson I was hit with countless mistakes that I beg to differ. During my second session with Dave he informed me that us riding around in the parking lot wasn’t the graded part. Then i see cones to parallel park and when I had a question he said “I can’t answer that.” Meanwhile I was never informed that cone parallel parking was an indication that I was being graded. Due to me parallel parking between actual cars in my first test. Then i got points taken off due to me making sure it was safe to turn left by evaluating both ways of traffic, but in his eyes I had the right of way and should’ve kept going regardless. But I guess everyone does things differently.I will not pay $1300+ for a few hours of lessons. Hopefully one day I can meet the perfect expectation of Defense driving school. . Just sharing my experience I’m not here to sway anyones mind. This is my opinion and there is no right or wrong whether you’re an instructor or student.

Horrible experience. I ignored all of the questionable advice I received from Pam, and passed my driving test on the first try. Multiple family members, friends, and even the driving test administrator confirmed that questionable advice I received was wrong. Pam would slap her hand on the steering wheel while I was driving to correct minor steering adjustments when no dangerous actions were taking place. Pam was impatient, aggressive, and unfriendly. When I called to complain, one of the supervisors named Bonnie said that the multiple people who confirmed that Pam's advice was inaccurate were "fools" and that I needed to study the driving guide (reminder: I passed my driving test on the first try). Her defense of Pam's behavior and methods were that she's a retired sheriff and that "she knows the law". Bonnie also stated that slapping students hands and steering wheels are "standard procedure" and that I had no right to complain. Given the service I received, I requested a refund. I was refused, since I "received the services" that I paid for. I would advise that people choose other driving schools, or at the very least, another teacher.

The driving instructors are very easy to get along with and it is shown though out the whole experience that they truly care about you. And the program is a great way to see the road from a whole other perspective which had changed my way of thinking. Great school to be in for a teen who wants to learn how to drive safely and responsibly. Plus, the music during break time is fun and will definitely catch your attention!
