Frequently Asked Questions
HOW MANY LESSONS WILL I NEED?
During our first lesson together, your skill level will be assessed and any areas which may need improvement will be identified. Then we can give you an estimate of how many lessons you may need.
CAN I DO LESSONS WITH YOU IN MY CAR?
No. We are only insured for lessons in our cars. Also, we have dual controls, so lessons in our cars are safer and easier.
WHAT SORT OF CAR WILL I BE DRIVING?
We use a Toyota Corolla and Kia Rio. Both modern, easy to drive, safe and comfortable.
WHAT IF I CRASH THE CAR?
Don’t worry, you are in good hands. Our track record speaks for itself... Instructing full time since 2006 and no serious incidents. But if something does happen, our cars are fully insured – you won’t have to pay a thing.
DO VICROADS SUPPLY A CAR FOR MY LICENCE TEST?
No. Most learners use a driving school car but you can take your own. It must be in roadworthy condition and the handbrake must be between the front seats.
WILL MY LOG BOOK BE OK? CAN I USE THE APP?
We will check your log book and provide you with a written list of anything that needs to be fixed. Your log book must be at an acceptable standard, or you will be unable to do your licence test. It will be checked by your Vicroads licence tester just prior to your on road drive test.
You can also log your driving hours in the Vicroads app. Quicker and easier: https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/licences/your-ls/mylearners
WHAT IS THE HAZARD PERCEPTION TEST?
Upon reaching 17 years and 11 months of age, you may do the hazard perception test. It is a computer based interactive video presentation. You may do it at the Vicroads office or you can do it online via the Vicroads website. You will be shown video footage of different driving scenarios on a computer. You are required to click on the mouse button to perform the “nominated action” at the appropriate time. You must have passed the hazard perception test before you will be allowed to do your licence test.
