How many lessons will I need to go from L plates to P plates?

It depends entirely on how much supervised practice you are getting between lessons. Someone driving regularly with a parent needs far fewer paid lessons than someone whose only time behind the wheel is the lesson itself. After a first assessment lesson you will get a straight estimate rather than a sales figure.

Do you sign off logbook hours?

Yes. Hours driven with a qualified instructor are recorded in your logbook as you go. In South Australia learner drivers need 75 hours of supervised driving including 15 hours at night before sitting the practical test.

Are the lessons automatic or manual?

Automatic only. If you pass your test in an automatic your licence carries an automatic condition, which means you may not drive a manual car until you pass a further test in one. For most people learning today that is not a limitation worth paying extra to avoid.

Can I use your car for the driving test?

Yes. Test day support and car hire is a separate service and includes a warm-up lesson before the test. Sitting the test in the car you have practised in removes one variable from an already stressful morning.

Most learners arrive having driven a little with a parent and knowing they have picked up habits nobody has corrected. That is normal and it is fixable. The first lesson is mostly finding out what you can already do, so the rest of them are spent on the things you actually need.

Lessons are one to one in an automatic dual-control car, which means there is a second brake and full supervision. You can push a bit further than you would with a family member in the passenger seat, because the safety net is real rather than hopeful.

Every student gets printed step sheets for the harder manoeuvres, so you can revise between lessons instead of trying to remember what was said in the car. Those same sheets are published here as the manoeuvre guides.

What the lessons cover.

The cockpit drill and car control

Seat, mirrors and steering position, then smooth use of the accelerator and brake. Boring, and it is the foundation everything else sits on.

The five slow speed manoeuvres

Reverse parallel park, angle park, moving off from the kerb, the U-turn and the three point turn. These are worth two percent each in the test and there are no half marks.

Reading traffic

Roundabouts, give way and stop signs, lane changes, and choosing gaps that are genuinely safe rather than merely possible.

The immediate fail items

Six things end the test on the spot. We practise them until they are automatic rather than something you have to remember.

How it runs.

Message on WhatsApp. Tell us roughly how many hours you have logged and where you are based. No form, no booking fee.
A first lesson that assesses. We find out what you can already do. You leave knowing what needs work and roughly how many lessons that means.
Practice and logbook hours. Hours are signed off as you go. Between lessons you practise with a supervising driver, using the step sheets.
Test day. A warm-up lesson beforehand, then the test in the same car you learned in, so nothing about it is unfamiliar.
