Every learner is different. If you’re starting from zero, most people need dozens of hours of practice. After your first lesson, your EZ Drive instructor will assess your driving and recommend how many lessons you’re likely to need.

Your first lesson is relaxed. Your instructor will check your experience and road rule knowledge. If you're a beginner, we start with car controls in a quiet area. If experienced, we observe your driving and correct habits.

Usually, yes. If you are brand new, you may begin with steering and basic control in a very quiet area. You are never forced to do more than you are ready for.

• Your current Driver Licence or Learner Permit
• Comfortable clothing
• Closed-toe, non-slip shoes (no thongs or heels)
• Glasses/contacts if required
• A positive attitude!

No. Good lessons are supportive and calm. We start in low-stress areas and build skills step-by-step. Our vehicles have dual controls for safety.

Yes, you can practise with family if they hold a full Australian licence. However, professional lessons are valuable because instructors know the specific test criteria and help avoid bad habits.

Automatic cars are easier to learn in as you don't need to change gears, allowing you to focus on traffic and observation. This often leads to faster progress and less stress.

Take professional lessons focusing on VicRoads criteria, practise regularly in different conditions, and master manoeuvres like parking and lane changes. Your instructor will tell you when you are ready to book.

Yes, we strongly recommend a warm-up lesson on test day. We review weak areas, run through manoeuvres, calm your nerves, and drive you to the VicRoads centre.

Typical sequence:

• Pre-drive check (lights, horn, etc.)
• Stage 1 drive: Low-risk streets + one manoeuvre (reverse park or 3-point turn).
• Stage 2 drive: Busier traffic, lane changes, roundabouts.

No. VicRoads does not supply a vehicle. You must bring a roadworthy car. Most learners use their instructor’s car via a test package.

Yes. Driving unnecessarily slowly can obstruct traffic and create hazards, which is considered a serious error.

Yes, you can use cameras and sensors, but you must predominantly look around and behind you (head checks), not just stare at the screen.

In Victoria, a qualified driving instructor may sit in the front passenger seat during your test, but they cannot speak or help you.

There is no limit to how many times you can take the test, but you must pay the booking fee again. Your instructor will help you fix problem areas before you rebook.

It is a computer-based test with 32 questions on road rules. You must answer at least 25 correctly to pass. You must study the Road to Solo Driving Handbook.

If you have an overseas licence, yes. If you are a new driver in Australia, you must pass the Learner Permit Knowledge Test and get your permit first.

If you are a permanent resident, you must convert within 6 months. This usually involves an Eyesight Test, Hazard Perception Test, and Practical Drive Test.

If under 21, you must hold your Learner Permit for 12 months and complete 120 hours of driving. If you hold a valid overseas licence, the 12-month wait generally doesn't apply.

Call, text, or book online via our website. You can choose your suburb, lesson type (single or package), and preferred time.

Yes, provided you give at least 24 hours’ notice. Less than 24 hours’ notice may incur the full lesson fee.

Yes. If it helps you feel comfortable, they can sit in the back. We recommend they join for only one or two lessons so the focus remains on your learning.

Yes! We offer refresher lessons for licensed drivers who haven't driven in a while, senior drivers, or anyone feeling nervous on the road.
