Surprisingly Enjoyable. I expected to be bored and put to sleep. I was wrong. This was a great course. Thank you.

I was dreading taking defensive driving, but these ladies made it an easy, down to earth experience. I love the shorter videos on each subject. It made going through all the material much easier. Thank you!

Easy. Educational. Engaging. Course is easy to take and keeps your attention. You can even learn something after 40 years of driving.

Our History
Donna Bayless and Sharon Winter, RightLane co-founders, are lifelong friends who grew up together in Kentucky’s horse country, drove white '65 Mustangs in high school, pursued very different careers and eventually reconnected in Nashville, Tennessee. They founded RightLane in 2015 to answer a looming question…
Why is everyone staring at their phones while driving?
Donna and Sharon dug deeply into the reasons, both scientific and behavioral, and discovered those drivers were attempting to multitask. After exploring the many facets of multitasking, they realized that as humans we can't do it. People are zipping along in their cars focused on their phones and literally running into each other.
So RightLane set out to “right” this phenomenon. To positively impact more drivers, RightLane purchased The Tennessee Driver Defensive Driving School in Franklin, TN in 2016. The school garners amazing reviews. Attendees love the interaction as they meet new people, laugh, learn new laws, do NOT watch gory, boring videos, and reconsider their own attitudes behind the wheel.
Later that same year, they developed a driver safety program to take on the road to employers. The reaction was positive, and the program grew quickly. To date, Donna and Sharon have trained over 8,000 employees from Alaska to Key West and have spoken at numerous national and state Safety Conferences.
In 2020, RightLane created their first online safety course - the Tennessee 4-hour Traffic School - which was certified by the Tennessee Department of Safety.
In 2022 they were awarded the Kentucky state contract for online State Traffic School and the online Graduated Licensing Course by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. RightLane is the only company certified to offer these courses in Kentucky.
In 2023, RightLane branched further into online driver safety courses by offering 55+ Mature Driver Safety Classes in both Kentucky and Tennessee and a Teen class in Tennessee.
In 2024, RightLane expanded into online Employer driver safety classes, offering Onboarding & Remediation classes along with smaller modules like Distracted Driving and Speeding.
Donna and Sharon love having a positive impact on people while making the roads safer for everyone.
