training school must:
(a) Not be established

thousand feet of an office building owned or leased by the department of

nearest route from the place of business to such building. If the department
establishes an office in which examinations for driver's licenses are conducted

instruction, except for purposes of administering examinations as may be

staff or instructors at the main office during its business hours;
and

requirements of chapter 46.82 RCW.
(2) A driver training school's classroom
