Driving Lessons Norlane

Geelong VicRoads, at 180 Fyans Street, South Geelong. It is about 8.8 kilometres south of Norlane, roughly thirteen minutes down Melbourne Road, and it is where your driving instructor will prepare you and where your drive test is booked.

About 8.8 kilometres, or roughly thirteen minutes. It is a straight run south along Melbourne Road through North Geelong and into town, which makes it one of the more predictable trips to an office we have.

Yes for ordinary learner driving lessons, and pickup from home, work or the Anakie Road shops is completely normal. For drive test preparation, thirteen minutes each way takes most of half a 60 minute driving lesson, so we would rather meet you at Geelong VicRoads or run it as a 90 minute driving lesson.

Yes, once the basics are steady. Melbourne Road runs straight through Norlane and carries the traffic north and south, with side streets joining all along it, so it teaches gap selection and lane discipline properly. It is not where a first driving lesson goes.

In the residential streets between Cox Road and Cowies Creek. They are wide for their age, quiet outside school times and laid out simply, which is close to ideal for a first driving lesson. You rarely need to drive anywhere to find a good one.

A great many, and it is one of the real advantages of learning here. Norlane has more quiet residential street per square kilometre than most parts of Geelong, so the early driving lessons can start at your door and stay useful without going anywhere near an arterial.

They come in early and they are worth the time. Judging who goes first without a signal is a skill that never really gets taught in a suburb full of traffic lights, and Norlane gives you plenty of practice at speeds low enough to think it through.

Yes, and from Norlane it is the arrangement we would suggest. The driving lesson runs immediately before the drive test on the roads the testing officers use, so you go in warmed up rather than arriving after a thirteen minute drive and starting cold. It is also the best price we offer.

Usually not the driving. It is the Victorian road rules first, then the local conditions: joining and leaving a busy arterial, giving way at unmarked intersections, and keeping left. Your drive test is at Geelong VicRoads and we prepare you on the roads around it.

It is one of the better parts of Geelong for it. Quiet grid streets to start on, a shopping centre car park for the manoeuvres and one straightforward arterial to progress to, all within a kilometre or so. The thirteen minutes to the testing office is the only thing to plan around.

The residential streets have ordinary kerbside parking with very little passing traffic, which is where reverse parallel parking should start. The shops on Anakie Road cover bay parking and reversing out with someone waiting, which is the version most local driving actually calls for.

Very little. Corio sits immediately north of Norlane and shares the same run south along Melbourne Road, so the distance and the advice are close to identical. Corio has its own page if you would rather read the numbers for your own side of Cox Road.
