ABOUT US
About Your Instructor
My name is Kelly LeBarre and I am the owner, instructor, a mom, and the heart behind Be Safe Driving School.
Being a mom shapes the way I teach. I know firsthand how important it is to feel safe, supported and understood when you’re learning something new, especially when it involves getting behind the wheel. I combine years of safe driving practices with the rigorous training provided by ODOT, and with the care and patience of a mom.
Students will receive consistent guidance and structured lessons in a calm and patient learning environment that focuses on building safe, responsible and confident drivers for life. Our classroom is kept small, with only one dedicated instructor. Students won’t feel lost in the crowd. This enables students to make stronger progress with just one instructor from start to finish. This is the kind of instruction I’d want for my own kids, and that’s what I offer every student.
Behind the wheel lessons take place in a hybrid electric vehicle to reflect a forward-thinking, eco-conscious driving experience. That means students not only build driving skills but also learn with sustainability in mind. It’s a modern and mindful approach that reflects the care I bring to every part of this journey.
I am a current and active member of the ODOT Driver's Education Advisory Committee and American Driver &Traffic Safety Association.
Whether you are a teen new to driving, or an adult ready to gain independence, I’m here to guide you through real-world skills, steady encouragement and a deep understanding of what safe driving truly means. My goal is to help you feel empowered, not intimidated, every step of the way.
Traffic Safety Education Course
The ODOT-approved traffic safety education course offers students the benefit of classroom instruction, in vehicle instruction and the opportunity to waive the DMV drive test. When students attend my program, they will receive the finest driver’s education with the nationally recognized curriculum – Oregon’s Risk Prevention Curriculum “The Playbook.”
Classes are held at the beautiful Lane Community College. In state-of-the-art classrooms, students actively participate in 30 hours of classroom instruction over the course of five weeks. While being environmentally conscious, students participate in 6 hours of behind the wheel instruction and 6 hours of in vehicle observation instruction in a hybrid electric vehicle.
Teens, ages 15-17, who successfully complete and pass the course, will have their drive test waived at the DMV. This is because the final drive with their instructor includes a drive test. Completion records are sent electronically to the DMV. Restrictions include, students cannot turn 18 and cannot obtain their license prior to the completion of the course. Students also must finish the course within 90 days of their start date.
School year sessions have classroom instruction on Saturdays and Sundays, 9 am - 12:15 pm.
Summer sessions have classroom instruction on Mondays and Tuesdays, 9 am - 12:15 pm.

My daughter loved attending this driving school. She learned quickly and even taught me some updates for my skills. My daughter really enjoyed the teaching style of the instructor and felt well supported. She’s been telling all her friends to learn with Be Safe Driving School.
