Jimmy Green is an exceptional instructor and a great conversationalist. I had the honour of having him oversee my skills test, he made me forget that I was stressed about failing and ended up passing the skills test. A stressful process that turned into a fun time!

Took my written and drivers test here. I had an excellent experience with Jimmy taking my drivers test. I signed up for the 30 minute warm-up, and it made a huge difference, he made me feel comfortable and safe, explained how the test would work so there were no surprises once we started it. I passed with flying colors and I think you could too if you study and take your test here. PS :) don't underestimate the challenge of the written test. It is not easy!

I had a great experience with Defensive Driving. I took both Knowledge and Skills test here. It was easy to book, easy to reach, and very kind staff, also on the phone. The prices are very reasonable too. I highly recommend booking with Jim. He’s very knowledgeable and kind. He made the whole exam experience less stressful and gave me useful parking tips during the warmup that I never got from my previous instructors.

Having recently moved to Seattle, I had to go thought the driving test process again. This location was recommended by a friend. They are very professional and make the whole process so easy. Jimmy was a fantastic instructor with a wealth of knowledge and pro tips to improve my driving skills. Highly recommend Jimmy and this location.

I had a really good experience at Defensive Driving. They are very sorted bunch. I also had a great experience learning with Lucas, with whom I took most of my classes! He is an extremely patient instructor, which really helped me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His presence of mind is amazing — he always stays calm and composed in every situation. What I also really appreciated is that he doesn’t just teach you how to drive, but also shares a lot of practical tips and techniques that make a big difference.
