Defensive Driving School of Woodinville

Defensive Driving School of Woodinville is a Driving School in Woodinville, WA. It provides driver education for teens and adults, offering specialty courses such as collision avoidance, court‑ and insurance‑approved classes, disabled/re‑hab driver training, driver improvement, driving‑simulator evaluations, individual driving programs, knowledge‑test prep, new‑driver workshops, stick‑shift training, and a Tesla experience. More than 10,000 students enroll each year, and the school maintains a 4.70 rating from its reviewers.

The school’s roots combine several long‑standing Seattle‑area programs. In 2001 the Fawcett family joined forces with Seattle Driving School, originally founded in 1945, and in 2006 Kirshner Driving School, established in 1949, became part of the Defensive family. This merger created a curriculum that emphasizes ticket‑ and collision‑free driving and has expanded to nearly 30 locations throughout Puget Sound, giving it more collective years of experience than any other Washington driving school. Led by President and Instructor/Examiner J.C., who has taught traffic safety since 1997, the staff includes certified instructors and examiners who guide students with real‑world expertise. The school’s mission is to provide a lifetime of driving success by delivering knowledgeable, interactive instruction and reinforcing defensive driving skills for all experience levels.

The campus sits on NE Woodinville Duvall Rd, just a short walk from the UPS Store post office (about 0.1 mile), the UW Neighborhood Woodinville Clinic (0.1 mile), and the Woodinville Park and Ride (0.2 mile). It is also near 140th Avenue Northeast and Zoomcare Urgent Care, each roughly 0.2 mile away, placing the school conveniently within the Woodinville community.

With certified instructors, a broad selection of specialty courses, and a reputation reflected in a 4.70 rating, Defensive Driving School of Woodinville stands out as a trusted source of comprehensive driver education for residents of Woodinville and the surrounding area.
