Check Ride Defensive Driving Education

Thank you for considering enrollment in our well-established and successful teenage defensive driving course which most satisfactorily serves hundreds of students annually. We are fully licensed and approved by the Washington State Department of Licensing.

We have a staggered enrollment program and as much as possible specialize in accommodating the flexible scheduling needs of today's busy high school or junior high school student.

By law, an enrollee must be at least 15 years of age and the training must include:

• 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving
• A minimum of 1 hour of behind-the-wheel observation
• 30 hours of supervised classroom activities

The program must be completed in entirety within a 3-month period with no exceptions. There is no learners permit required at the time of enrollment as we are authorized by the State to issue a Department of Licensing Waiver 10 days prior to class starting. This will allow the student to get a permit without taking the knowledge test until after course completion.

Our excellent classroom teaching is supported by continually updated audio-visual aids and is designed to give the beginning driver appropriate techniques, theory, and rules of the road knowledge so necessary to drive defensively with skill and careful relaxation in today's traffic. Street instruction is given in late model, dual-controlled automatic transmission automobiles on an individually scheduled basis arranged to fit the time demands of the student and parents. Automatic transmission vehicles are employed as they prove to be the best approach for the learner in today's complex traffic situations.
