Driving Lessons Greenvale

Coolaroo VicRoads, at 12/1530 Pascoe Vale Road, Coolaroo. It is about 7.9 kilometres south east of Greenvale and it is the closest office that conducts drive tests, so it is the one your driving lessons are built around.

No. Broadmeadows VicRoads sits between Greenvale and Coolaroo and it does not conduct drive tests, so passing it does not make it an option. It is still open for other business. Your drive test happens at Coolaroo VicRoads a few minutes further on.

About 7.9 kilometres south east down Mickleham Road. Allow a good quarter of an hour rather than ten minutes, because the arterials through this part of the north run slower than the distance suggests for much of the day.

Yes, for ordinary driving lessons, and from here that is usually the practical option. For drive test preparation we would suggest meeting at Coolaroo VicRoads instead, or booking a 90 minute driving lesson, so the travel does not eat into the preparation.

It is an excellent start and not a complete plan. The estate streets are wide with long sightlines and gentle roundabouts, which is close to ideal for the first driving lessons. What Greenvale does not have is traffic, and the drive test is conducted in traffic, so we move onto Mickleham Road and the arterials south well before test day.

The estate streets either side of Mickleham Road. Wide, quiet and mostly residents driving on them, with enough of it that the early driving lessons never run short of somewhere suitable.

Yes, once the estate streets are comfortable. Mickleham Road is the spine of Greenvale, the speed lifts on it and turns have to be planned rather than taken on sight. It is also the road towards the office, which makes it useful practice twice over.

Home or work, most often, which is how most driving lessons here start anyway. For drive test preparation we would still suggest meeting at Coolaroo VicRoads so the hour goes on the assessed roads.

The estate streets have room but not always long lines of parked cars, which is what the drive test asks you to judge. So we start there and then use the older streets closer to the office, where kerbside parking is more like the real thing.

Automatic. Driving lessons in Greenvale are in a small dual-control automatic, and that is also the car you would sit the Coolaroo VicRoads drive test in if your package includes it. An automatic licence covers you for automatic cars, which is what most people in Melbourne drive now. If you specifically need manual, tell us when you book and we will give you an honest answer on whether we can cover it.

The same as everywhere else we teach. A 60 minute driving lesson booked as a package of three works out at $225, and packages that include the Coolaroo VicRoads drive test start at $224. The full list is further down this page. The price does not change for weekends, public holidays, early mornings or evenings, which is worth checking when you compare quotes.

Most overseas licence holders fall in the 3 to 5 driving lesson range. Drivers already on Melbourne roads every week usually need 2 to 3, and anyone still adjusting to local conditions 5 to 10 or more. These are recommended ranges rather than fixed minimums. The gap is rarely car control. It is Victorian road rules, and it is the arterial traffic south of the estate. All of it is covered on the way to the Coolaroo VicRoads drive test.
