Finding a Good Driving Instructor

If you're lucky enough to be in the North Seattle metro area, we hands down recommend A-Team Driving School. The owner/instructor, Bill, is excellent. Brittany is also an instructor and is great too. If you're not in that area though-- here are some important questions to ask when you're looking.

• How long have you been a driving instructor?
  
• Do you have male or female instructors?
  
• Are all your instructors fully qualified?
  
• Can I have the same instructor for all my lessons?
  
• What type of cars do you use?
  
• Are the cars dual controlled?
  
• How old are the cars?
  
• Do I have the same car for every lesson?
  
• Do you work weekends?
  
• How much are your lessons? (Cheap doesn't always equal best.)
  
• Do you have discounts?
  
• What's your pass rate?
  
• How long is each lesson?
  
• Any fees for lesson cancellation?

Some other good questions to ask if a friend/family member is referring you:

• Are they reliable?
  
• Are they friendly and patient?
  
• Does the instructor smoke?
