Driving Lessons Ascot Vale

Carlton VicRoads, at 459 Lygon Street, Carlton. It is about 6.5 kilometres east of Ascot Vale and it is the office your driving lessons are built around, so the testing routes are familiar well before test day.

About 6.5 kilometres, or roughly 16 minutes along Mount Alexander Road and Flemington Road. The distance is short and the trams and racecourse traffic account for the rest of the time.

Yes. Home, work or Ascot Vale station all work for ordinary driving lessons. For drive test preparation we suggest meeting at Carlton VicRoads so the full hour goes on the roads you will be assessed on rather than on getting there.

Once you are ready for it, yes. Mount Alexander Road has trams running down the centre, and knowing what to do when one stops is ordinary Melbourne driving rather than an advanced skill. New learner drivers start on the quieter streets nearby.

We work it deliberately once your basics are solid. Union Road is narrow with angle parking and doors opening, which is exactly the judgement a drive test asks for, and it is better met with a driving instructor beside you.

Yes. Ascot Vale station is a common meeting point for driving lessons, along with home and work addresses. It suits anyone travelling in for a lesson rather than starting from an Ascot Vale address.

On the residential streets between the station and the river, where cars are parked along both sides and the gaps are real. Union Road adds angle parking once you are ready, and both come up in ordinary driving.

Automatic is what most learners book, and driving lessons run in a small dual-control automatic. Manual can be requested on the booking form, subject to whether a manual driving instructor is covering Ascot Vale at the time.

Two or three driving lessons if you already drive in Melbourne regularly, because the work is the Carlton VicRoads testing routes rather than learning to drive. Three to five if trams and inner-suburban traffic are still new to you.
