Drive-Rite Driving School is a full service driving school, with all types of instruction. We started out as Safeway Driving School. Safeway started training new drivers here in Knoxville back in 1943. In the early 80's we started developing several types of classroom programs under the name of Drive-Rite. We have developed safe driving programs for novice to professional drivers across East Tennessee throughout the years.
Just a few of the companies we have worked with over the years are, University of Tennessee Department of Logistics, Knox County Schools, Union County Schools, Hiwassee Mental Health, Terminx, Russell's Pest Control, Tennessee Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, Maryville Christian School, Greenville Seven Day Adventist Academy, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Methodist Medical Center, to name a few.

Driver’s Ed
Report
We use the AAA "How-to-Drive" Program* and Driver Improvement Basics supplemented with any relevant materials. It has also been reported that the State of Tennessee ranks 8th in Teenager Driver Fatalities!

36 Hour AAA Driver Education Program
Report
It is crucial that new drivers have a good theoretical base of knowledge to draw on. Not all students learn at the same pace. We let students that can move through the classroom quickly do so. Some of those can complete their 30 hours and retain the material in a couple weeks. With our flexible schedule students that are motivated to finish quickly may be able to finish in 2 to 3 weeks WITHOUT tying up 4 Saturdays in a row!
Our Philosophy on Teen Drivers’ Education
Report
Teenagers only get one chance to learn how to drive correctly the first time. A teenager having to unlearn bad habits is extremely difficult. Studies show driving is the most risky task most people will participate in during any single day. Studies also show that 40 percent of new drivers receive a ticket or are involved in a crash in their first twelve months of driving.
