Students will be comfortable and relaxed with leather interior, ceramic tint and dual zone climate-control.
Each student will also experience the smart driver-assist technology that modern vehicles now include, such as Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Forward Collision Avoidance.
Feel confident that safety is at the forefront of every lesson.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I only provide driving instruction to prepare students for their South Australian Vehicle On Road Test (VORT). At this current time I do not offer CBT&A (logbook) instruction.
I accept cash and bank payments by PayID. Payment for lessons must be made in full by the completion of the lesson.
In South Australia you can obtain your driving licence by two methods; VORT (Vehicle On Road Test) and CBT&A (Competency Based Training and Assessment commonly known as Logbook).
VORT This method typically the cheaper of the methods as you can achieve the required competency level to pass the driving examination with less lessons. Your driving instructor will teach you the same skills and competencies as taught in logbook so you are a safe and competent driver.
The VORT examination involves a final drive along a pre-determined Government route, where you will be required to demonstrate competent driving including five slow-speed manoeuvres:
1. Moving off from a kerb or hill 2. U-Turn 3. Three-point turn 4. 90 degree angle park 5. Reverse parallel park
Things to note with VORT, students cannot be tested by an instructor they have had lessons with. This is something we arrange for all our students. Importantly, any road law breach while undertaking a VORT examination will result in an immediate fail of the test and require a reassessment, permitted only after 14 days.
CBT&A This method requires students to learn and demonstration 30 competencies with a final examination drive. Due to the number of competencies, more driving instruction lessons are required. At this time I do not offer CBT&A.
Every student is unique with different levels of experience and skills. Once I have assessed your driving on your first lesson, I can provide you an estimate on the number of lessons that you will likely need before sitting the VORT examination.
When a student can confidently and safely drive with minimal assistance, they are usually ready for a VORT. Practice has a significant impact to student learning and adoption of what is taught in lessons. Regular practice following what students learn typically leads to reduced lessons and less cost for parents.
This is flexible. I can come to your home, school, workplace or other location and lessons can conclude at the same or alternative location. Please speak with me if the location is a long distance away prior to booking.
Absolutely! My vehicle has full comprehensive insurance, and is insured for driver training.
I hold Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance through the Professional Driver Trainers Association of South Australia (PDTA), of which I am a full member.
I am a nationally qualified driving instructor holding a Certificate IV Motor Vehicle Driving Instruction, and approved by DIT (Department for Infrastructure and Transport) to provide driving lessons. I have also completed advanced defensive driving technique courses.
Professional driving lessons are strongly encouraged.
The VORT examination requires an overall 90% result to pass so not understanding the requirements and procedures will lead to a costly failure. Professional instruction will ensure you have the correct knowledge of road law, effective and safe driving skills, and knowledge of sequences and procedures required to pass a VORT.
Learners must have your learners permit with you for each lesson, as well as your driving companion for recording driving hours.
Licence conversion students must have their international licence with them and/or temporary learners permit if already obtained. This must be in paper form and a digital copy is not sufficient
Comfortable footwear (does not include thongs or high heels).
