Looking to gain more experience and confidence behind the wheel before you take the driving test? Book a lesson with your local Wyong driving school.

Through informative and relaxed sessions, instructors teach learner drivers the important road rules and skills they need for life. While many learner drivers may choose to be supervised by a parent or relative, a licensed driving instructor can teach and reinforce driving techniques that are relevant and up to date.

As well as providing plenty of opportunities to practice in different driving situations, driving schools in Wyong create tailored lesson plans to target specific areas that the learner is not confident in.

Using the keys2drive approach, driving instructors work with a parent or supervising driver to provide extra support and encouragement and help learners become safe and competent drivers. This initiative is also useful in adding skills and strategies for the early stages of solo driving.

Another benefit of learning to drive with a professional instructor is the bonus hours recorded in the logbook—every hour equals 3 hours of driving experience. Many Wyong driving schools offer lesson packages for 10 hours of lessons and can be recorded as 30 hours in the logbook.

To help fill up logbook hours and gain more experience, there are driving schools in Wyong offering a one-time Safer Drivers Course. As well as earning 20 logbook hours, it also teaches learners safe driving behaviour for when they move on to their provisional licence.

If you are applying for a job that requires the operation of a heavy vehicle, you can receive competency based training and assessments from an accredited driving instructor. They provide courses on light rigid, medium rigid, heavy rigid, heavy combination and multi combination licence classes. These licences allow drivers to operate trucks or buses.

To properly approve or upgrade a heavy vehicle licence, driving schools in Wyong utilise the Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment Scheme (HVCBA). This allows greater flexibility for the industry and gives applicants more options for their vehicle training and assessment.

Once you reach 85 years of age, you will need to have a medical review every year. If you wish to keep your current unrestricted licence, you will also need to undertake a practical driving assessment. Many instructors in Wyong offer Older Driver Assessments and can assess if you are fit to drive a car safely on the road. Older drivers holding a heavy vehicle or motorcycle licence still need to be assessed by a Roads and Maritime testing officer.

Driving instructors throughout Wyong have all been accredited by the Roads and Maritime Services and have received the appropriate training to teach correct driving techniques. They are also able to instruct drivers in either a manual or automatic vehicle, with some driving schools teaching in modified cars for people with a disability.
