FAQs

What areas do you service in Palmerston?

We service the entire Palmerston area and surrounding areas, including Durack, Yarrawonga and Driver. Contact us to confirm if we serve your specific location.
Do I need my own car for lessons?

Most driving instructors provide a dual-control vehicle, which allows them to assist in braking and acceleration if necessary. However, some learners prefer to practise in their own vehicle to become more comfortable before driving independently. If you wish to use your own car, it must be roadworthy, registered and insured.
Can I switch from an automatic to a manual licence?

Yes, if you currently hold an automatic licence and want to drive a manual vehicle, you need to take manual driving lessons and pass a practical driving test in a manual car. A successful test result will allow you to drive both manual and automatic vehicles, providing greater flexibility for work and travel.
Are driving lessons mandatory before taking the test?

No, driving lessons are not a legal requirement before taking a practical driving test, but they are highly recommended. Professional lessons help learners develop safe driving habits, improve road rule knowledge and become familiar with common test routes. Many learners find that structured lessons increase their confidence and improve their chances of passing on the first attempt.
