  • How it Works

  • How it Works – Defensive Driving in Tennessee

    In Tennessee, a judge can grant you permission to have your entire traffic citation dismissed by taking a traffic school course – the violation won’t hit your driving record, you won’t receive any points, and you won’t have to pay the associated fines. You may also take a traffic school course voluntarily to earn an insurance discount if your provider offers one.

    Whether you’re looking to dismiss a violation or save money on insurance, I Drive Safely is here with the information you need. We’ve done the research for you and put together lists of all the steps required to meet your goals. With us, you’ve got the path to success laid out in front of you.

    How to Dismiss a Traffic Ticket

    How to Earn an Auto Insurance Discount

    How to Dismiss a Traffic Ticket

    1. Contact your court and request permission to complete a Tennessee traffic school course.

    There will be a date on your citation by which you must contact the court. When you do so, you will need to provide the following:

    • Your traffic ticket number
    • The date of your citation
    • Your appearance date
    • The listed violation charge

    The court will determine whether you are eligible for ticket dismissal or required to appear before a judge for further evaluation. If and when permission is granted to take a traffic school course, you may then sign up for our online Tennessee course.

    2. Enroll in and complete your I Drive Safely Tennessee traffic school.

    Your court or judge will most likely give you a deadline by which you must finish your course and submit your completion certificate. I Drive Safely will send you this certificate of course completion via email.

    3. Submit your certificate of completion to your court.

    Your court can specify whether they’d like the certificate mailed, faxed, or hand-delivered to the county branch. Make sure to ask for this information before performing any of these actions.

    4. Check your driving record.

    Your court will process your ticket dismissal, after which you should check your driving record to make sure no violation or points have been assessed. It’s always a good idea to be vigilant and proactive when it comes to maintaining an accurate driving history!

    How to Earn an Auto Insurance Discount

    1. Contact your insurance company for information on earning a discount through traffic school.

    Most providers will offer a rate reduction of up to 10% to drivers who voluntarily complete a Tennessee traffic school course. When discussing your options, make sure to ask:

    • What your reduction rate will be
    • Whether you can renew your discount
    • How long your discount will be valid

    2. Enroll in and complete I Drive Safely’s Tennessee traffic school.

    3. Submit your certificate of completion to your insurance company.

    We’ll mail your proof of completion right to your door, so you can bring it to your insurance agent for them to process. Be sure to ask them when your discount will be applied!

    4. Enjoy your reduced insurance rate!

    Course Information

    1. Is this course approved?

    Yes! Your Tennessee traffic school course is state-approved by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (DSHS) to satisfy requirements for ticket and point dismissal.

    1. I'm not sure if I'm eligible to take a Tennessee traffic school course. How do I find out?

    Ticket dismissal is granted on a case-by-case basis in Tennessee, and requirements will differ from court to court. Generally, you will be eligible if:

    • You possess a valid, non-commercial Tennessee driver’s license
    • Your violation is a non-criminal minor moving violation
    • Your license has not been suspended or revoked

    Check with your specific court before enrolling in our course. We have all of the eligibility requirements and steps to take for the Tennessee Traffic School course listed on our How it Works page.

    1. How long will this course take?

    The Tennessee traffic school course meets the state-mandated 4-hour length requirement – you could start and finish your course all in the same day! The course is broken up into 8 chapters which you may work through at whatever pace you choose, so how long it takes is completely up to you.

    1. What types of things will I study?

    Each of your 8 course chapters focuses on single topics that pertain to Tennessee driving and traffic laws. These topics include:

    • Highway safety
    • Alcohol- and drug-impaired driving
    • State traffic laws
    • Driving emergencies
    • Vehicle maintenance
    1. What is the testing and grading policy?

    Each of the 8 chapters contains a quiz that reviews important content from that chapter. There are 10 questions per quiz, and you need to obtain an 80% or higher to pass onto the next chapter. The quizzes will provide you with an excellent opportunity to master the course material and prepare for your final exam. You will be provided with feedback on any incorrect answers, and you may retake your quizzes an unlimited amount of times.

    You will then take your final exam at the end of your course, with 25 multiple-choice questions and a passing score of 80% or higher. You may retake the exam if you do not pass on your first try. You are allowed unlimited attempts.

    1. Is there any way I can fail the course?

    Absolutely not! You have unlimited retakes on your chapter quizzes and final exam, so if you fail to achieve a passing score on your first try, you may simply retake the chapter again until you do.

    1. Why does this course have timers?

    This course is required by Tennessee law to span 4 hours in length. To comply with this law, we (and all other online defensive driving schools) are required to place timers on each page of the course. We realize that some students may read faster than the timer will permit you to advance, but state regulations prohibit us from changing this function. The timers cannot be disabled for any reason.

    1. Is there a time limit to complete this course?

    Deadlines are typically determined by the Tennessee courts. While we allow you 180 days to complete your course before your account is suspended, the court may require you to finish your course much sooner than that. Make sure to determine their deadline before beginning the course.

    Regardless of court deadlines, you MUST complete the course within 180 days of registration. Any student who has not successfully completed the course within 180 days will be terminated without notice and will not be eligible for a refund.
