Driving Lessons Five Ways

Frankston VicRoads, at 71 Hartnett Drive, Seaford. It is about 19.9 kilometres west of Five Ways and roughly 25 minutes, and it is where your driving instructor will prepare you and where your drive test is booked.

It is the name of the office rather than a description of where it sits. The address is 71 Hartnett Drive, Seaford, and it is worth putting that into your phone rather than the word Frankston, because from Five Ways you have a twenty five minute drive and no time to correct it on the day.

Yes for ordinary learner driving lessons. For drive test preparation it genuinely does not work: twenty five minutes each way would leave about ten useful minutes out of an hour. Meeting your driving instructor at the office, or booking a 90 minute driving lesson, is what we would suggest.

It is an advantage at the start and a gap later, and we plan around both. The quiet roads here are close to ideal for a first driving lesson. For roundabouts, traffic lights, queues and car parks we drive into Cranbourne, because those things have to be practised where they exist.

Speed judgement and road position. Higher limits, corners that arrive without much warning, gravel shoulders and stretches with no line marking mean you learn where to place the car by looking at the road rather than following paint. That transfers straight back to town.

They are a normal part of driving out here rather than something to be anxious about. A tractor doing thirty on a hundred road, and kangaroos near dusk, are both things you plan for by scanning further ahead and easing off early. We practise it rather than just mention it.

More so than almost anywhere. With twenty five minutes at each end, a 60 minute driving lesson has very little middle. The 90 minute option keeps the travel from eating the preparation, and meeting at the office achieves the same thing.

Yes, and from out here it is by far the best arrangement. Your driving lesson runs on the roads the testing officers use and the drive test follows straight on, so you are not making the trip twice or sitting in the car between the two. It is also the best price we offer.

Reverse parallel parking needs a kerb and cars parked along it, and Five Ways has very little of either, so that work happens in Cranbourne or Pearcedale. The shopping centre car parks in Cranbourne cover bay parking with someone waiting, which is the version that actually makes people nervous.

The Victorian road rules first. After that it splits in two: open road speed and position on the rural roads, then roundabouts and heavier intersections in Cranbourne. Your drive test is at Frankston VicRoads in Seaford, and preparation is aimed at the roads around it.

It is a very good place to begin and not a complete one on its own. Almost no traffic when you are starting out, real open road skills as you progress, and Cranbourne close enough to supply everything the paddocks cannot. The drive to the testing office is the part that needs planning.

Yes. Driving lessons run seven days, early morning to early evening, at the same price whichever day or hour you pick. That matters more at this distance, because it means the driving lesson can be booked when the trip actually suits you.
