Question 3

How many driving lessons do i need?

Accepted Answer

After your first lesson, your driving instructor will be in the best position to assess how many driving lessons you should take, based on factors such as:

•          Previous driving experience, if any
•          Confidence level
•          How quickly you appear to learn and master driving techniques
A New Driver
If you have no driving experience at all, we recommend at least 7 to 10 hours of driving lessons with an accredited driving instructor. For less confident learners, it’s not unusual to book up to 20 hours of instruction. We all learn at different speeds, and it is important to make sure you have a handle on what you’ve been taught in your driving lessons, not just for your driver’s test, but to be a safe and competent driver.
If you are a new driver but have had some driving experience – say, with a family member or friend – we recommend at least 5 to 7 hours of driving instruction to fine-tune your skills and prepare for your driving test.
International Driver’s Licence Holders
Most international driver’s licence holders (https://www.ezlicence.com.au/blog/transferring-an-international-driver-s-licence-to-an-australian-licence)book about 2 to 3 hours of driving instruction to prepare for the driver’s test here. Notably, there has been a high failure rate in this category, so we recommend starting with at least 3 to 5 hours of driving lessons before attempting the driving test.
Licenced wanting to learn how to drive a manual car
Most learners who already hold an Australian Driver's Licence, but wish to learn on a manual vehicle, will require 3 to 5 hours of driving lessons.
Please note that these ranges are a guide only and will vary from learner to learner.

Question 4

Can i get the bonus logbook hours if i take lessons from an LicensePlus Driving Instructor?

Accepted Answer

Definitely.

Taking structured driving lessons with an EzLicence instructor in NSW,(https://www.ezlicence.com.au/blog/hr-3-hrs-how-to-get-bonus-log-book-hours-nsw) QLD (https://www.ezlicence.com.au/blog/hr-3-hrs-how-to-get-bonus-log-book-hours-qld)& ACT lets you record 3 hours of driving experience in your logbook for every 1 hour of driving instruction, up to a maximum of 30 hours recorded for 10 hours of lessons. You can, of course, continue to take driving lessons with EzLicence instructors after you have recorded the maximum allowable bonus, but each 1 hour will equal 1 hour in your logbook.
Note that if you take a driving lesson at night (i.e. between sunset and sunrise), you can only record 1 hour of night driving. The remaining 2 hours are added to your log of day driving experience hours.
In Tasmania, you’ll get 1 extra hour of credit for every hour of driving instruction, up to a maximum of 20 hours recorded for 10 hours of lessons.

Question 5

What if There Are No Available Driving Instructors in My Area?

Accepted Answer

If your search comes up with no results, it is because there are no driving instructors who are currently willing or able to service the area of your chosen pick-up location. Simply enter an alternate location that is convenient for you and search again.

Question 6

Can I Take Refresher Driving Lessons?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Many existing driver’s licence holders book driving lessons to refresh their skills (https://www.ezlicence.com.au/blog/stay-at-your-best-with-refresher-driving-lessons)or build up some more confidence, especially if they have spent some time not driving. We recommend about 3 to 5 hours of driving instruction in cases like this.

Question 7

Can I Change Instructors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. At EzLicence, we know that having a rapport with your driving instructor makes for a more comfortable – and therefore effective – learning experience. If you want to book a lesson with another driving instructor, just follow the same steps. From your dashboard select 'find another instructor' and then choose the instructor you'd like. Check their availability and book online. Take your driving lesson. It's that simple.

Question 9

Can I Book Driving Lessons to Learn How to Drive Manual?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.  Driving a manual transmission (https://www.ezlicence.com.au/blog/manual-driving-lessons)vehicle is becoming less and less common, but it’s not yet a “lost art”. Whether you are learning manual to be more versatile or because it’s a more engaging (and fun) drive, we recommend booking 3 to 5 hours of driving instruction to start.
