Our Background & Philosophy

Learning to drive can be an overwhelming and frightening and ever so exciting time.

 

At UR Turn to Learn, you will be met by an experienced and accredited driving instructor. You will embark on your driver training with a vision to guiding you to become a confident, safe and successful member of the driving community. 

​

You will learn to drive in a vehicle with manual transmission, which is modern and equipped with dual controls to ensure your safety.

 

  • A standard driving lesson will last for one hour.  

  • Your instructor is qualified and experienced.

​

The aim of driving lessons is to provide every opportunity for you to achieve up to date, correct driving knowledge by experiencing many situations before bad habits are created with a minimum number of lessons to save you time and money.

Hazard Perception and Booking your Practical Test

You can sit your Hazard Perception test from 6 months after you hold your valid Learners permit. 

​

Practical driving tests are best to be booked in advance as availability is limited.

Taking the Practical Driving Test

You must:

  • arrive at least 20 minutes before your appointment time for your driving test.

  • organise a registered motor vehicle that meets the standard test vehicle requirements for the class of license you are applying for. Note: You must have the registered operator's authorisation to use the test vehicle. You will be asked for confirmation of this.

  • correctly display your L Plates.

  • Have your Red P plate ready for when you pass your test and drive home BY YOURSELF.
