Driving Lessons Maribyrnong

Carlton VicRoads, at 459 Lygon Street, Carlton. It is about 9.2 kilometres east of Maribyrnong and it is the office your driving lessons are built around.

No. Sunshine VicRoads is nearer to Maribyrnong than Carlton is and it does not conduct drive tests. It stays open for other business, so it has not closed, but drive tests from Maribyrnong happen at Carlton VicRoads.

Because the crossing east towards the city from the inner west is slow at almost any hour and there is no quick way through. It is one of the wider gaps between distance and travel time we deal with, which is why we go by the clock rather than the map.

Yes, for ordinary driving lessons. Home, work or the shopping centre all work. For drive test preparation we would suggest meeting at Carlton VicRoads instead, or booking a 90 minute driving lesson, because the travel takes most of a 60 minute booking.

It is some of the heaviest retail traffic in the west and worth learning properly. Over six thousand parking spaces feed onto the surrounding roads, queues back up out of the car parks and there is constant turning traffic. Once you have driven it a few times it becomes ordinary, and the patience it builds is exactly what the drive test looks for.

The residential streets away from the centre, where the traffic is local. We pick the time of day carefully even there, because traffic heading for the shops finds its way onto the side streets at busy periods.

Yes, and useful ones. The suburb sits on a rise inside a bend of the river, so the ground falls away towards the water and starting on a grade comes into the early driving lessons without anyone having to arrange it.

They are the busier roads around the suburb and the last step before the crossing east. Both carry traffic across the inner west with turns across steady flow, which is close to what the roads around Carlton VicRoads ask for.

On the residential streets away from the centre, where cars are parked along the kerb in a normal line. The centre has enormous car parks and marked bays, which is a different exercise entirely and not what the drive test assesses.

Automatic. Driving lessons in Maribyrnong are in a small dual-control automatic, and that is also the car you would sit the Carlton 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 Carlton 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.

With one driving lesson so your driving instructor can see where you are. Experienced overseas drivers usually need fewer driving lessons than they expect, and the gap is rarely car control. It is Victorian road rules, and around here it is car park queues and entrances feeding straight onto busy roads. From there we plan how many driving lessons you need before the Carlton VicRoads drive test.
