No, we will give you a waiver for the written permit test on the first day of class. You take that waiver plus all of your documentation to the DOL and they will issue the permit.
Contact our office at least 2 business days (48 hours) in advance and we will be happy to reschedule you. So, for example, if you would like to reschedule a Monday appointment at 3 pm that means you would need to call our office by 3pm on Thursday to keep at least 48 hours notice and avoid a late cancellation fee. The more notice students give us for reschedules, the easier it will be for us to reschedule the appointment(s).
This training is done with a specially equipped car on a closed course - parking lot (either Snohomish High or Renton Tech. College). In part of the training students learn life saving techniques on how to control a skidding vehicle. However, the most important part of the training is how to avoid getting into a skid in the first place. Skills that can take hours to learn on the road only take a few minutes to learn in the "skid monster".
Yes, we have stick lessons available out of our Seattle and Redmond locations. You may sign up for one or several, depending on what skills you desire to learn. We use our vehicle which is equipped with a dual clutch, so you don't have to worry about ruining the transmission in your own car.
You can enroll online or download an application, fill it out and send it to our administrative office with payment and we will schedule you for lessons.
No, we cannot guarantee that you'll do well on your DOL exam. We will teach you the skills that you need to be ticket and collision-free, but we cannot say if you will always follow what you've been taught.
It depends on your prior driving experience, age, skill level, ability to practice outside of instruction time and your cultural background. Our instructor can better inform you on the first lesson how many more you'll need.
If you enroll for a 5-lesson package, we will issue you a test waiver to assist you in getting a permit. However, you will need to understand the basic rules of the road and have to take the test in order to get your license.
Every judge is different. With many of our students the judges have deferred the ticket so that it does not appear on your driving record as long as you don't have a second offense.
Many insurance companies offer defensive driving class discounts. Call your specific company and ask them how they apply discounts for driving classes to your policy and premium.
Yes. Many other states approve our courses, as well. Check with your out of state court to know if they approve us. (WA, CA, FL are ok plus ??? others)
