Learning to drive with Fifth Gear Motoring

Learning to drive is a skill for life so get the Driver's edge! An extensive Learn to Drive program with professional, calm and friendly instructors.

We aim to educate drivers to a standard that gives them the ability, to be both proactive and defensive driver. Utilising the ACT Government Logbook and Competency-Based Training System, we teach and assess drivers for their Provisional licence. Please also be aware that the logbook method usually takes an average of 10-14 lessons to be completed from start to finish, although this is just an average and it is different for every learner.

We also can assist NSW drivers in preparing for the government driving test. Our training is more comprehensive than the minimum standard required.

Our training covers both practical skills to be a safe driver and more importantly, the correct attitude for driving on Australian roads and conditions.

Lessons are conducted in the ACT and Queanbeyan.

FAQ

What does a driving lesson cover?

At Fifth Gear Motoring, each driving lesson is tailored to your individual learning journey. We kick off every session by understanding your priorities. Whether your goal is mastering the ACT logbook competencies for your provisional licence, honing specific driving skills like smooth parking or navigating roundabouts, getting ready for your crucial government one-off practical driving assessment, or simply boosting your confidence on the road, our expert instructors are here to guide you.

How many lessons will it take to complete my competencies?

The number of lessons can vary from person to person, so we tailor our approach to each student's needs. While the log book method requires a minimum of 7 lessons, most learners typically feel confident and ready after around 10-15 lessons. The best way to get a clearer picture for yourself is to book an initial lesson. Our experienced instructors can assess your current skill level and give you a more personalized estimate of the lessons you might need to reach the required standard.

Can I change to automatic lessons if I decide I don't want to learn manual anymore?

Yes. At any time when learning manual you can change to automatic without having to redo any competencies. Although, if you are learning automatic and decide you want your manual licence you will need to redo all your competencies in a manual.

Do I get three hours in my logbook instead of one with a driving instructor?

Yes. For your first ten lessons with an accredited driving instructor a one hour lesson will count as three hours towards your logbook. After the first ten lessons, each hour will only count as one hour. You can also complete the Safer Driver Course for 20 hours and the Vulnerable Road User Program for 10 additional hours.
