Driving Lessons Heidelberg Heights

Bundoora VicRoads, at 8 Graduate Road, Bundoora. It is about 6.2 kilometres north of Heidelberg Heights, roughly ten minutes, and it is the office your driving lessons are built around.

About 6.2 kilometres, or roughly ten minutes in ordinary traffic heading north. That lands right on the ten minute mark, which is the figure our advice on pickup turns on.

Yes. Home or work both work and at ten minutes the travel is easily managed. For drive test preparation we would still suggest meeting at Bundoora VicRoads, because twenty minutes of travel across the hour is twenty minutes off the assessed roads.

The residential streets inside the suburb, away from Bell Street. Because the arterials run around the boundaries rather than through the middle, there is a lot of genuinely quiet road here, which is unusual this close in.

It is the busiest driving in the suburb and the most useful. Bell Street is multi-lane and carries traffic across the north all day, so turning across it has to be planned well before the intersection. Those are exactly the skills the roads around Bundoora VicRoads ask for.

It is a good one to start in. The busy roads are on the edges, so you can spend the early driving lessons on quiet streets without being forced into traffic before you are ready, then step onto Bell Street and Waiora Road when it suits. That order is easier to arrange here than in most of the north east.

They are the middle step. Both carry steadier traffic than the residential streets and bring turns across it, without the lane count or the speed of Bell Street, so they are where you start making real decisions in traffic.

Yes. Anywhere in Heidelberg Heights works for ordinary driving lessons, including the streets over towards the creek. For drive test preparation we would still suggest meeting at Bundoora VicRoads instead.

On the residential streets inside the suburb, where cars are parked along the kerb in a normal line and the traffic is local. There is enough of it that your driving instructor can pick a gap that suits your stage rather than the tightest one available.

Automatic. Driving lessons in Heidelberg Heights are in a small dual-control automatic, and that is also the car you would sit the Bundoora 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 Bundoora 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 drivers need 3 to 5 driving lessons. If you already drive regularly in Melbourne, 2 to 3 is usually enough, and if you are still adjusting to Melbourne conditions, plan on 5 to 10 or more. Those are recommended ranges, not fixed minimums. The gap is rarely car control. It is Victorian road rules, and around here it is one heavy east to west road and the turns across it. Your driving instructor takes you through all of it ahead of the Bundoora VicRoads drive test.
