I have seen first hand on at least 4 occasions (Investigating Collisions), one being as recent as…read moreMonday where I have heard young drivers not knowing what to do when they are involved in a a collision. I would not mind coming in for an hour and teaching that portion if you would like. My daughter went through the program about a year ago and she tells me that topic is not covered. I told her that's hard to believe but, it is in the drivers guide. Maybe she didn't pay attention that 39 minutes it was talked about???? Simple- Steer it and clear it if possible. -call 911 -Have DL, Reg, POI in vehicle. -Do not accept not calling the police an option as the other person may not have insurance or valid DL etc. there is a reason why they want to leave before the police arrive!! Even if the damage is non reportable, the officer can still write the person at fault a ticket!!! Anyway just a thought, Keith

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with 911 Driving School…read more I paid over $630 each for two of my kids to attend driving school, and for that kind of money, I expected to actually be able to schedule their required drives in a reasonable amount of time. Instead, there is little to no availability, and we have been placed on a cancellation list that never seems to move. One of my kids was able to complete one drive and thankfully has another scheduled toward the end of the month. My other child cannot even get her first drive until the end of the month. On top of that, I can't schedule anything for the following month because there is currently nothing available to book. It is incredibly frustrating to spend well over $1,200 for two students and then be told it could take months just to complete their drives because there aren't enough appointments available. If you are accepting this many students and charging families this much money, there should be adequate staffing and drive availability to accommodate them. At this point, I feel like I could have taught them myself and saved a significant amount of money. I understand that Washington State has requirements for teen drivers, but families shouldn't be paying hundreds of dollars per student only to discover after enrolling that scheduling the required drives is nearly impossible. To make matters worse, when I called for assistance, I found the staff to be rude and unhelpful rather than understanding or willing to help find a solution. For the amount of money families are paying, I expected much better availability, communication, and customer service. This experience has been extremely discouraging and frustrating.

My instructor Sean was amazing, great teacher, encouraging all the way through. He made sure everything was fun and I learned a lot. The whole staff were great, and things are well organized to keep it fun and safe. You will switch places with another student in the same car throughout the day, which gives you time to reflect on what you've just been taught, as you watch the other set of students and see how they do on their runs. The day ends with two major sections linked together, which use all the techniques you've learned so far, and makes for a fun course to run down. Wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and drink plenty of water, it gets toasty in those cars.

Defensive Driving is a chain throughout the Skagit area, and it has some pros/cons…read more A positive is that the instructors are engaging, especially online, which is very helpful for a digital class. However, a con is that they often cut observed drives short, and ask the students if they want to end early. I wish they wouldn't ask a teenager if he/she wants to end early - because the teenager invariably wants to go home and do nothing. Defensive Driving needs to provide the hour of observation/instruction that I'm paying for. A pro is that the instructors provide good feedback and lend confidence to the learners. However, a HUGE con is that they never have drive times available afterschool or on the weekend. They only put one month up at a time on the schedule agent, so if you don't get any dates that month, you can't even go forward to the next month to schedule. I refuse to let my son to skip school to do observed drives. Perhaps they need to hire more trained observers. Another positive is how easy it is to take both the written and practical driving tests with Defensive Driving. It really is seemless. But, another negative is that the instructor has the students use his own personal car for the exam (maybe he gets a tax write-off), instead of the cars they have been practicing in and are used to. Unfortunately, there is odd rubber-band placed on the brake pedal, which really distracted my son who has sensory issues. He failed his first driving exam because the rubberband on the brake pedal was a huge distraction.

The owner or manager at this Stanwood location is AMAZING. We had the opportunity for my sons high…read moreschool or this drivers Ed company which happens to be within walking distance of the high school. It's a tad more expensive but worth every penny as I've heard nothing but amazing things about how this school operates. I also get the pleasure to watch these adorable teens parallel park in front of my house quite often. I stopped in the other day to sign my son up in which they do sign ups on online. I stopped by and the owner/manager was so helpful, so positive, such a great guy. Works well with kids with learning disabilities he mentioned also. Who teaches my son how to drive legally is so important to me. My son (all kids) are my world and teaching styles can be so different. I immediately knew not only the first time but the second time I was able to talk to him that this hands-down was the place to go. It's worth the extra 40 or $50 trust me. And there flexible so many different options like weekend versus weekdays. Also currently still doing online classes also however I am choosing in person as it will fit my son better. and it's next-door to the YMCA in which he's always at. When it comes to your kids safety it's priceless not to mention the experience, even the memories that he will gain are important. I feel this will be more tailored to his needs but most of all MY BIGGEST PET PEVE is when adults/teachers don't treat kids with the same respect as they do parents for instance that they will be treated I'm sure with the same respect as the parents are. I would highly recommend this location in Stanwood. My daughter went through the high school drivers Ed 10 years ago they did a good job but usually it's teachers teaching at the HS and you don't know what one probably where is I know my son Maddox will be able to succeed and have a better learning experience under this facility and educator. Meeting him twice GREAT GUY WHO YOU CAN TELL CARES but also enjoys what he does huge bonus versus some teachers at the school I'm sure could get a little cranky if there with high school students all day (I get it lol ) and then teaching them to drive after UGG. Bless them. Oh and their cars are very nice new and clean. Thanks Defensive Driving School. We will see you soon. The yellow truck is no longer in front of my home but we have a grey Kia out in front you can parallel park next to anytime.

They are very strict on the start time (which I appreciate), but that means links need to work properly. Also, my son was sick, very sick, and we had to pay $89 cancellation fee for his driving lesson. Again, I know there are policies, but when a child is sick there is no grace or compassion. This is all business. I do not recommend this company for the above two reasons. I amount of time I had to take off work to email with issues about accessing the court, or micromanage the course itself is ridiculous. For $800+ accessing zoom should be simple, recording attendance should be easy and if a child is sick, there should be one reschedule that is allowed. I genuinely don't leave bad reviews unless I truly feel as though the service was not acceptable and in this case, I feel this deeply. My drivers ed experience was amazing as a kid. It was empowering and exciting. My kid has had nothing but frustration since enrolling. 0 stars.
