Driving Lessons Whittington

Geelong VicRoads, at 180 Fyans Street, South Geelong. It is only about 2.8 kilometres from Whittington, roughly five minutes, and it is where your driving instructor will prepare you and where your drive test is booked.

The name refers to the office rather than the street. The address is 180 Fyans Street, South Geelong. From Whittington it is close enough that a wrong turn costs little, but it is still worth saving the address rather than the name.

Yes, and here it is simply the normal arrangement. At five minutes each way you keep almost the entire 60 minute driving lesson, so most Whittington learners are collected at home throughout. Meeting at the office is a small refinement for the last driving lessons before your drive test.

Because the suburb was laid out that way on purpose, to keep through traffic out and to make room for the small reserves between the streets. Whatever it was intended to do for residents, the effect for a learner driver is excellent: quiet streets with turning areas and nothing coming.

About as good as Geelong offers. The courts carry only their own residents, every one has space to turn around at the end, and there is no through traffic to hurry you. You can work on stopping, starting and steering without anyone behind you.

The Bellarine Highway first, which is multi-lane and constant and covers turning right across traffic and choosing a gap. Then central Geelong, a few minutes away, for roundabouts, traffic lights, queues and car parks. Whittington itself deliberately has none of that.

It depends where you are starting from. New learners commonly book five to ten, learners approaching their 120 hours three to five, and experienced overseas drivers often two to five. Being five minutes from the office means more of each driving lesson is spent driving.

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

Mostly the Victorian road rules. The local driving is gentle close to home and gets serious on the Bellarine Highway and in central Geelong, which is where preparation is aimed, since that is the ground around the testing office.

It is one of the easiest starts on the site and it is five minutes from where you will be assessed. Traffic free courts to begin in, a proper arterial on the edge, and central Geelong minutes away for everything else. Very little of a driving lesson is spent getting anywhere.

The courts have kerbside parking with almost nothing passing, which is the right place for reverse parallel parking to start, and the turning areas at the ends are useful for three point turns. The car parks in central Geelong are the version with someone waiting behind you.

Yes, seven days from early morning to early evening, and the price is the same whichever day or hour you book. There is no weekend or after hours surcharge, so you can pick a time that genuinely suits you.
