Driving Lessons Travancore

Carlton VicRoads, at 459 Lygon Street, Carlton. It is about 4 kilometres south east of Travancore, roughly thirteen minutes, and it is where your driving instructor will prepare you and where your drive test is booked.

No. Drive tests are not among the things handled at the VicRoads office on Exhibition Street. It is open for other VicRoads business, so it is worth knowing it is there, but from Travancore your drive test is at Carlton VicRoads on Lygon Street.

Because it is inner Melbourne rather than distance. Trams stopping, signals and pedestrians all take their turn before you do. The useful part is that those are the same conditions as the roads around the testing office, so the drive across is practice rather than dead time.

They start here and move into Ascot Vale and Flemington early, and we are straightforward about that. The streets inside the pocket are quiet and narrow, which suits a first driving lesson, but there are only a few of them and only a few ways out.

Yes, and for ordinary learner driving lessons that is the usual arrangement, from home or from work. For drive test preparation, thirteen minutes each way is a little under half of a 60 minute driving lesson, so we would rather meet you at Carlton VicRoads or run a 90 minute driving lesson.

Away from them. The first driving lessons stay inside the pocket and in the quieter streets nearby, where there are no tram tracks. When you are ready we work along Mount Alexander Road, which runs right past you and is the tram road you will use most.

Knowing where to stop behind one, remembering that passengers step straight out into the road, and knowing when you may move off again. It is one of the parts of the Victorian road rules that people who learned elsewhere find genuinely unfamiliar, and on Mount Alexander Road you will meet it every time you drive.

It is demanding for the first week and an advantage afterwards. Narrow streets teach car width, where to wait and how to give way in a gap, at speeds low enough that nothing goes wrong. It tends to be the hardest thing to add later for anyone who began somewhere wide and open.

Not many, and it is worth knowing early. The suburb is hemmed in on both sides, so the routes out are limited and learning them properly is part of driving here. It teaches route planning without any effort on your part.

Yes, and from Travancore it is easy to arrange. Your driving lesson runs on the testing roads and the drive test follows it immediately, which keeps the thirteen minute drive out of the middle. It is also the best price we offer.

Usually not the driving. It is the Victorian road rules, and here that means tram stops on Mount Alexander Road, then giving way on narrow streets and keeping left. The drive test itself happens at Carlton VicRoads, and that is where the preparation is aimed.

It is a convenient one with a small footprint. The streets inside are quiet enough for a first driving lesson, a tram road runs along your boundary, and the city is thirteen minutes away. Driving lessons range into Ascot Vale and Flemington sooner than they would elsewhere, which broadens the range rather than limiting it.

Cars are parked along both sides of the streets inside the pocket, so real reverse parallel parking gaps are close by and usually tight. For more choice we use Ascot Vale and Flemington, a minute or two away, and Mount Alexander Road is the version with a tram behind you.
