Driving Lessons Viewbank

Bundoora VicRoads, at 8 Graduate Road, Bundoora. It is about 8 kilometres north of Viewbank and roughly 14 minutes, and it is where your driving instructor will prepare you and where your drive test is booked.

About 8 kilometres, or roughly 14 minutes north. It is a steady suburban run on ordinary arterials rather than anything difficult, and the roads it uses are much like the ones you will be assessed on.

Yes for ordinary learner driving lessons, from home, work or Rosanna station. For drive test preparation, 14 minutes at each end costs a little under half the hour, so we would suggest meeting your driving instructor at Bundoora VicRoads or booking a 90 minute driving lesson.

Because the parkland along the Yarra and the Plenty closes off most of the suburb, so streets stop at a reserve rather than carrying through. For a learner that is genuinely lucky: a street with no through traffic and a turning circle at the end is about the gentlest place there is to start.

They are useful rather than a problem, and they are unavoidable here anyway. The ground drops away towards the rivers, so holding the car on a slope and starting on one become normal in the first couple of driving lessons rather than being a thing you put off.

Yes, once vehicle control is steady, and it comes after the quieter streets. Lower Plenty Road carries the traffic along the northern edge of Viewbank, so it is where joining a busy road, holding a lane and turning right across traffic are worth practising properly.

Rosanna and Heidelberg, which are only a few minutes away and busier than anything in Viewbank itself. That is deliberate: the driving around Bundoora VicRoads is busier than the streets you live on, so preparation has to be too.

It depends where you are starting from. New learners commonly book five to ten, learners approaching their 120 hours usually three to five, and experienced overseas drivers often only two to five. The first driving lesson is largely about giving you an honest answer to that question.

Yes, and it is a sensible arrangement from Viewbank. Your driving lesson runs on the roads the testing officers use and the drive test follows straight on from it, so you arrive warmed up rather than cold. It is also the best price we offer.

Usually the rules rather than the driving. Victorian road rules first, then the local conditions: gradient in the streets, joining Lower Plenty Road, and the heavier traffic through Rosanna and Heidelberg. Preparation is aimed at the roads around Bundoora VicRoads.

It is one of the gentler starts on the site. Quiet courts backing onto parkland, real gradient built in, a proper arterial along the top when you are ready, and busier suburbs a few minutes away. The 14 minutes to the testing office is the only thing worth planning around.

The courts and quiet streets have kerbside parking with almost nothing passing, which is where reverse parallel parking should begin, and the turning areas at the ends are useful for three point turns. Rosanna Village gives you the harder version, with traffic behind you and people about.
