When can I start to learn to drive?

If you're at least 16 years old, you're ready to begin.

The first step is to pass the Driver Knowledge Test (DKT). But before you head off to the Service NSW, you've got some preparation to do. The first thing to do is read the Road Users' Handbook and the pamphlet Getting your driver licence.

To help you out, the Road Users' Handbook is available on the Service NSW website- including questions for you to tackle as you go through it. These are the kinds of questions that you'll need to answer in the DKT. Electronic versions of the handbook and the DKT have been translated into Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Greek, Korean, Serbian, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Will I need a lot of lessons?

There is no exact figure as to how many driving lessons you will need, as this varies from person to person and their driving skills. A rough guide to how many driving lessons you will need is set out by the Service NSW, which says on average a student requires a minimum of 120 hours of driving experience to pass their driving tests first time round. Although after recent changes to Learners Licence regulations every 1 hour lesson taken through a licensed instructor counts to 3 hours towards your logbook hours. After taking a few professional lessons from your instructor, we advise you to speak to your instructor about how many lessons he or she feels you will require based on your current driving skills.

How long is each lesson?

Usually lessons are only an hour long each, but we recommend that you book one and a half hour lesson if you are able to, as this way you are more likely to make quicker progress by putting your experiences into practice and therefore passing your test in very little time, saving you a lot of money.

What happens during each lesson?

Our driving instructor is trained to teach you theory and practical, ensuring that you receive the best tuition possible and also to increase your skills and road confidence. At the end of each driving lesson you and your driving instructor will recap what you learnt and set an objective of what you will learn during the next lesson as this will help you maintain a steady progress.

How many lessons do I need?

There is no straight answer, it all depends on the students ability to observe traffic regulations, vehicle control, search and identify hazards. In most cases all this can be covered within 10-12 lessons. But additional lessons will be need to build up confidence and a sense of the road.
