How many lessons will I need to get my licence?
The number of lessons needed varies for each individual, depending on their prior experience and how quickly they pick up new skills. Our expert instructors will assess your progress and provide personalised guidance to ensure you're confident and ready for your test.
What makes Ready To Drive - Driving Academy different from other driving schools in Sydney?
We're a local owner-operated academy, led by a former police officer with over 18 years of experience. Our focus is on comprehensive driver education, not just getting a licence. We develop positive driving attitudes, road safety, and essential vehicle maintenance skills, ensuring you become a confident and competent road user for life.
What should I know or bring before my first lesson?
Please bring your valid Learner's Permit. It's also a good idea to bring a spill-proof drink container, appropriate enclosed footwear (no thongs or high heels), sunglasses for glare, and a raincoat if wet weather is expected, especially for outdoor pre-start checks.
Do I need to study the NSW Road Users Handbook before my first lesson?
Yes, a sound knowledge of the NSW Road User Handbook is essential. It provides the foundational understanding of road rules and safety practices that we will build upon during your practical lessons.
Can I use my own car or my parents' car for lessons?
While we primarily use our modern, dual-controlled vehicles for your safety and ease of learning, we can discuss options for using your own car or a parent's car for specific sessions once you've gained sufficient experience and confidence and the vehicle meets safety standards.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel an appointment?
We understand that life happens! Please communicate any cancellations or modifications to existing bookings as soon as possible. Our booking policy will be explained upon sign-up, but generally, we appreciate ample notice to accommodate all our students.
How do payments and bookings work at Ready To Drive?
We offer flexible payment options including Eftpos, PayID and direct bank transfer for your convenience. Bookings can be made directly via our website or by contacting us. For detailed pricing, please visit our Lesson Pricing page.
Does Ready To Drive offer anything beyond just getting my licence?
Absolutely! Beyond passing your test, we provide vital education on positive driving attitudes, road safety, and even basic vehicle maintenance like how to change a flat tyre, perform pre-start checks, and what to do in an emergency. Our goal is to equip you with lifelong driving skills and confidence.
