Why Do I Need Lessons?

  • Lessons save money
  • Lessons are essential for people to learn the correct way of driving.
  • Lessons reduce the risk of accidents, therefore reducing insurance excesses and injury to yourself and others.
  • Lessons will prepare you for Auckland driving conditions and will help your defensive driving skills.
  • You will gain confidence for driving in busy Auckland traffic i.e motorway, harbour bridge or Queen street.
  • To keep alive

Can I use your car?

Yes, we welcome students to use our car, for lessons and the test.

We are not testing officers, so we cannot take you for a driving test. You will take your test with a testing officer who will appraise your driving skills over a variety of tasks and he makes the decision. We prepare you for your driving test by giving you a mock test. That means we assess your driving skills to check that you are up to test standard and would pass. It is expensive and disappointing to fail, so let us train you first.
