Learner
Drivers FAQ
Common questions other learner drivers ask us
This question entirely depends on what you want to use your licence for or what cars you have access to. Often car lovers and those looking to expand their employment opportunities will go for a manual licence. It provides the most flexibility allowing them to drive any car (when on their open licence). On the other hand, automatics are easier to drive and seem to be the option a lot of students are choosing.
All you need to bring to each lesson is yourself, a valid learners’ permit and your logbook. From there, all you need to do is have fun and learn a lot.
To get a learner’s licence you need to be 16 and have passed a small test. Simply head over to your nearest Department of Transport office and complete the 30-question quiz. We recommend studying up on the road rules before attending, the quiz can be tricky.
You can choose whether you would prefer a male or female instructor when you sign up. We want you to be comfortable with your instructor in order to provide a great, stress-free learning environment.
If you are in Brisbane's Bayside we can certainly provide lessons for you. Please refer to our service area list to confirm if your area is covered.
You certainly can. We understand that each of our learners will have commitments like school, uni, or work during the day. So if your school, work or uni is local, we can come pick you up when these are done, take you for a lesson, then take you home.
You can book a test online through the QLD Department of Transport's website. Once you have completed the Hazard Perception Test, you will be able to pick a date and time that is suitable for you to complete the test.
Once booked, email us through your Test Booking Confirmation and we can check that your instructor has availability for your test.
Book our test day package and you can use our car for the test and receive a lesson prior to the test. This is the path we recommend as it provides you with a touch up lesson before you begin the test. However, if you simply want a car for the test, you can book that with us too.
When you book your lesson online you will be able to see the instructors and their availability, you will then be able to choose which instructor you would like to book with.
Yes of course. When rebooking we can make sure that you are booked with the same instructor. Alternatively if you would prefer to learn with multiple instructors that is possible too.
Our instructors are highly sought after and often book out a few weeks in advance. If you were wanting a lesson sooner than what is available, email us and we can add you to the waitlist in case there are any cancellations.
Our driving school vehicles are equipped with extra safety features (eg dual controls and extra mirrors) so as to ensure the health and safety of our instructors and learners. We understand however students may feel more comfortable learning in their own vehicles. Our policy is that after a student has had at least one lesson in our driving school vehicles and the instructors deems it safe to do so, lessons can be taken in a student's private vehicle.
Please contact the office if you would like your lesson to be in your vehicle as we will require some paperwork to be completed prior to this happening.
