THE DRIVERLY DIFFERENCE
Driverly is an online defensive driving course platform built to help drivers become safer, more confident, and better prepared for the road.
Our courses cover practical defensive driving techniques, traffic laws, common driving hazards, and strategies for reducing the risk of crashes. Because Driverly is completely online, you can complete your course from your phone, tablet, or computer and work through it at your own pace.
Whether you’re taking defensive driving because of a traffic ticket, for a court requirement, or simply because you want to become a safer driver, Driverly makes the process straightforward.
HAVE A TRAFFIC TICKET?
In most cases, completing a defensive driving course may help with a traffic ticket, but the rules vary by state, court, and individual case. If you’re taking defensive driving specifically because of a traffic citation, we recommend contacting the court listed on your ticket to confirm whether an online defensive driving course will satisfy its requirements.
After successfully completing an eligible Driverly course, you’ll receive a defensive driving completion certificate that can be submitted to a court.
FIND YOUR COURSE →PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE
Course requirements are set by the court, insurer, or agency involved—not by Driverly. A quick confirmation before purchase can help you choose the right course and avoid surprises later.
Confirm that an online defensive driving course meets the requirement for your ticket, insurance program, or other purpose.
Ask whether a specific number of hours, completion date, provider approval, or other condition applies to your situation.
Ask whether you need to upload, email, mail, or deliver the completion certificate, and keep any deadlines in writing.

DRIVERLY FAQ
Helpful information for choosing and completing your defensive driving course.
Yes. Every Driverly course purchase is eligible for our Certificate Acceptance Money-Back Guarantee if a court or insurance company rejects your completed Driverly certificate.
After Driverly receives and verifies the required documents, we will refund 100% of the purchase price paid to Driverly for that course.

Read the complete guarantee requirements in our Terms & Conditions. Court and insurance requirements vary, so confirm acceptance before enrolling.
No defensive driving website can guarantee that taking an online defensive driving course will automatically get a ticket dismissed. Whether a court accepts a certificate depends on applicable laws, court procedures, and the circumstances of an individual case.
Driverly does not promise a ticket dismissal or court acceptance. If a completed Driverly certificate is rejected by a court or insurance company, the Certificate Acceptance Money-Back Guarantee provides a full refund of the course purchase price paid to Driverly after the required documentation is verified.

Our goal is simple: make defensive driving easier to learn and help put safer drivers on the road.

Driverly courses are completed online, so you can work through eligible course material from a phone, tablet, or computer. Whether an online course satisfies a particular court, insurer, or agency requirement depends on that organization’s rules.
Before enrolling for a ticket, insurance, or other requirement, confirm that an online defensive driving course is accepted and ask about any required course length, deadline, or certificate-submission process.
Course length depends on the program and the requirement you are trying to meet. Driverly currently offers defensive driving programs for Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, including one-hour and four-hour options where available.
Check the details of your selected course and confirm with the court, insurer, or agency whether a specific number of hours is required before you enroll.
Some insurance companies may offer a discount or other benefit after a defensive driving course, but eligibility, course requirements, and the amount of any benefit are determined by the insurer. Driverly does not promise an insurance discount.
Contact your insurer before enrolling to ask whether it accepts an online defensive driving completion certificate and what documentation it requires.
After you complete the required lessons, quizzes, and any final assessment for your course, you can access your Driverly certificate of completion. Keep a copy for your records and follow the submission instructions provided by the court, insurer, or agency involved.
Requirements and deadlines can vary, so it is important to confirm where and how the certificate should be delivered.
