Lessons for new drivers

It can be extremely stressful learning to drive with a family member, especially at the start when there is so much information to take in. For the sake of family harmony, it’s best to call in the professionals at BA Driving School.

Planned lessons

Bob’s carefully planned lessons are aimed at passing the Department of Transport's driving test. Some of the things you will be tested on in your practical driving assessment will be:

• Making three point turns
• Parallel parking
• Turning in and out of driveways
• Parking in car parks

The examiner will also be taking note of how well you:

• Operate & guide the car
• Put the road rules into practice
• Fit in with other traffic
• See and respond to hazards

Bob will begin by teaching new drivers how the car works, starting and moving off, gear changing and driving on main roads with traffic lights. This progresses to parking and manoeuvring the car around streets and using U-turns, parallel parking, roundabouts, and turning left and right into driveways. As you progress, Bob will also include experience in driving on busier roads.

Bob finds that by taking a calm and patient approach to teaching people to drive, it increases their confidence and he can get the best out of new and inexperienced drivers.

Overseas drivers

If you hold an overseas licence, eventually you will need to convert it to a WA drivers’ licence. Bob provides patient and expert guidance in both manual and automatic vehicles to get you on the right path.

Refresher courses

If you haven’t driven for a while, or feel as though your driving skills aren't quite up to scratch, Bob can provide a refresher course to give you added confidence on the road.
