Driving Lessons Montmorency

Bundoora VicRoads, at 8 Graduate Road, Bundoora. It is about 7.2 kilometres west of Montmorency, roughly 13 minutes, and it is the office your driving lessons are built around.

About 7.2 kilometres, or roughly 13 minutes in ordinary traffic heading west. The ground rises and falls the whole way, so allow the full figure rather than assuming a flat run.

Yes, for ordinary driving lessons. Home, work or Montmorency station all work. For drive test preparation we would suggest meeting at Bundoora VicRoads instead, or booking a 90 minute driving lesson, because the travel takes around half of a 60 minute booking.

They ask more of you early and it pays off. Almost nothing here is level, so pulling away on a grade, controlling speed downhill and parking on a slant all come in the first few driving lessons rather than being put off. By the time you reach the flatter roads near the office it is settled.

The residential streets away from the village. Quiet, leafy and with local traffic only, and the slope means gradient control gets practised from the start without anyone having to go looking for a hill.

It is the village strip and the natural step up. Kerbside parking fills quickly, cars reverse out and people cross between them, and it is not a flat street, so you are managing a grade and a busy strip at once. Good practice once the basics are in place.

Yes. Montmorency station is a common meeting point for driving lessons, along with home and work. It suits anyone travelling in for a driving lesson rather than starting from a Montmorency address. For drive test preparation we would still suggest Bundoora VicRoads instead.

The village streets are, on their own, which is why the driving lessons head west. Rattray Road and the roads towards Greensborough bring steadier traffic, and the arterials near the office bring the rest. The hills here teach car control beautifully and traffic has to come from elsewhere.

On the flatter stretches first, then on a slope deliberately, because level parking is genuinely uncommon here. The kerbside parking along Were Street is the busier version and worth doing before test day.

Automatic. Driving lessons in Montmorency 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 undulating streets and a village strip that fills quickly. All of it is covered on the way to the Bundoora VicRoads drive test.
