Instructors’ Perspectives and Advice

We reached out to experienced driving instructors in Tasmania to gather additional insights into passing the driving test. Here’s what they had to say:

Simulation is Key

“Simulate the test as closely as possible in your practice runs. Plan your routes and attempt the maneuvers you might be asked to perform. The closer you get to the real thing, the better prepared you’ll be.”

Drive Appropriately for Conditions

“Examiners are looking for drivers who can adapt to the current road and weather conditions. Be aware of signage, road markings, and other vehicles. Be ready to change your driving to suit the situation, whether it’s raining or there’s a school zone nearby.”
