Driving Lessons Nunawading

Mitcham VicRoads, at 93A Heatherdale Road, Ringwood. It is only about 1.6 kilometres east of Nunawading, roughly three minutes along Whitehorse Road, and it is where your driving instructor will prepare you and where your drive test is booked.

No, and this is the single most useful thing on the page for someone in Nunawading. The office called Mitcham VicRoads is at 93A Heatherdale Road in Ringwood. Driving to the suburb of Mitcham will take you the wrong way. Put the street address into your phone rather than the office name.

No, and it is worth getting exactly right because there are two VicRoads offices in the Ringwood area. Yours is Mitcham VicRoads at 93A Heatherdale Road. The office called Ringwood VicRoads is a different one and it does not conduct drive tests, although it is open for other VicRoads business. Navigate to Heatherdale Road and you will be in the right place.

About 1.6 kilometres, or roughly three minutes east along Whitehorse Road. It is the shortest run to a testing office of any suburb we cover, which means almost none of your driving lesson goes on getting there.

Yes, and here it costs you essentially nothing. Three minutes each way still leaves better than fifty minutes of a 60 minute driving lesson in the testing area. For drive test preparation we would still suggest meeting your driving instructor at Mitcham VicRoads so every minute goes on the testing roads, but from Nunawading that is a fine adjustment rather than an important call.

It asks something unusual of you, which is what makes it valuable. Vehicles pull out of showroom driveways along the whole MegaMile, often across your path and without much warning, so you learn to watch driveways rather than only watching traffic. Speeds are not high, so it teaches observation rather than testing nerve. It is not where a first driving lesson goes.

In the residential streets either side of Whitehorse Road. They are quiet, gridded and wide enough to be forgiving, which is what a first driving lesson needs. Being three minutes from the office means we can move on to the roads that matter as soon as you are ready.

Yes, once the basics are steady. Springvale Road is multi-lane and busy through most of the day, so it teaches gap selection, lane discipline and turning across traffic properly. It also runs right past Nunawading station, so it is a road you will use constantly.

It comes in around the same time and it is easy to underestimate. Canterbury Road is narrower than Whitehorse Road but carries a lot of traffic and moves faster than it first appears, so road position and speed choice matter more there than people expect.

Yes, and from Nunawading it is about as easy to arrange as it gets. The driving lesson runs immediately before the drive test on the roads the testing officers use, and the office is three minutes away, so you go in thoroughly warmed up. It is also the best price we offer.

Usually not the driving. It is the Victorian road rules first, then the local conditions: giving way to vehicles entering from private driveways, crossing two heavy arterials, and keeping left. Your drive test is at Mitcham VicRoads on Heatherdale Road and we prepare you on the roads around it.

It is one of the best positioned suburbs we cover. Quiet residential grids, a genuinely unusual commercial strip and two busy arterials all sit within a couple of kilometres, and the testing office is three minutes away. Practically none of your driving lesson time is spent travelling.

The residential streets have ordinary kerbside parking and light traffic, which is where reverse parallel parking should start. The shopping and showroom car parks along Whitehorse Road cover bay parking and reversing out with someone waiting, which is what most local driving actually calls for.
