IT'S HERE... THE Finest DRIVING LESSONS Newtown HAS TO OFFER
Fear of driving is a very common and we understand it is very important to provide the right atmosphere for our students. That's why we have a no shouting policy. Creating a learning environment like this starts with us and our instructors. Our driving instructors are trained beyond the normal requirements to ensure you get only the best. Our instructors are passionate about teaching people to drive and work hard to give you the ultimate driving lesson experience. In the end that is what being a driving instructor is all about. You, our student, and your safe development into a competent driver.
Here is why people call us the best driving school in Newtown
In all our years teaching we have never seen a perfect driver because one doesn't exist. Being safe and confident is all you need to aim for. We don't waste time trying to make you a perfect driver. We fix areas of your driving need the most work so you progress fast and stay safe.
This level of driving instruction is fantastic but we also feel that gaps between lessons can often slow progress so all our pupils also get free access to our online training platform to help reinforce their learning.
We have seen students consistently progress faster with the use of our home study support material. Our extra bonus training will give you the head start all your EDT driving lessons, on road rules and on the driving test. No other Newtown driving school offers such a comprehensive service as this.
Refreshingly Good Driving Lessons in Newtown
We all remember the exciting engaging teacher at school that made learning easy and fun. And we remember the poor teachers that had no business teaching anyone. Not all teachers are made equal and that is no less true with driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as Googling 'Driving Lessons Newtown' and picking the first driving school you see. Who can you believe in to give you that fun and engaging experience?
You need a driving school with a reputation built on experience and student success. A place where pupils are regularly passing their driving test first time.

Generally pupils are one of the following. You are either starting or need to complete your EDT driving lessons. Or you need to start your driving test preparation.
So here is a little information on our approach.
The EDT: What is it?
EDT Driving Lessons Newtown
As part of an initiative to improve the poor statistics of young drivers getting killed or injured on our roads the Road Safety Authority introduced the EDT.
The EDT syllabus requires that 12 structured driving lessons have to be completed, stamped and uploaded to the RSA website by a registered ADI.
These 12 lessons were created with the intention of filling in the vital driving skill gaps that young drivers had which were leading to the high level of road accidents occurring each year.

Getting yourself ready for the Driving Test in Newtown
Pretest Driving Lessons Newtown
First you must master the rules of the road, the road signs and skills involved to control a car safely. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive alone on Newtown roads is a right you will need to earn and the driving test is your opportunity to do it. As with any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is accomplished well before the day of the test with proper preparation.
If your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. Fear can distract even the most experienced of drivers. So it makes perfect sense that we have to shine a light in the dark, eliminate the unknowns and the anxiety. Which is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
Our tried and tested pretest training packages have been developed to specifically help you overcome your nerves and come out with a deep understanding on what will happen on test day.
By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
