Whether you’re a teenager, a first-time driver, or someone looking for refresher driving lessons, we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs. Our expert instructors create a customised plan for every learner to ensure the best chance of passing the test and becoming a confident, skilled driver.
4. Expert Supervision
Our fully accredited instructors offer expert guidance and are dedicated to ensuring you master driving skills for life, not just the test. You’ll learn to drive competently and safely, giving you the confidence to drive well beyond your Ls and Ps.
5. Automatic and manual vehicles
Whether you prefer automatic or manual lessons, we’ve got you covered. Our clean, comfortable vehicles are equipped with dual controls for your safety. We’ll help you decide which option works best for you, and you can even try both if needed.
In Victoria, learners under 21 must complete at least 120 hours of supervised driving before taking their test. While family and friends can help accumulate these hours quickly and affordably, this isn’t the most effective way to pass your test or become a confident, skilled driver. Professional driving lessons offer structured guidance and expert supervision, ensuring you’re fully prepared for both the test and safe driving on the road.

Since 2012, READY 2 GO has helped over 100 students pass their driving test, helping them to be the confident driver they aim to be in a safe and fun environment. We offer lessons Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with flexible scheduling, including night driving lessons. Our focus on student success means you’ll be one of the many confident, skilled drivers we’ve helped on your way to obtaining your license.

Common Errors We Help You Avoid During a Driving Test
During your driving test, the examiner will be looking for both critical errors and immediate termination errors.
Critical Errors
These errors could create an unsafe situation but don’t pose an immediate threat. You’re allowed up to two critical errors during the test.
Some examples include:
-
Driving too slowly
-
Blocking pedestrian crossings
-
Failing to signal or look, as long as no one is endangered
-
Stalling the vehicle
-
Touching the kerb while parking
-
Rolling through a stop sign without endangering others
Immediate Termination Errors
These result in an automatic failure and test termination. They occur when your actions put yourself or others at immediate risk. Stay alert to avoid these!
Examples of Immediate Termination Errors
Immediate termination errors are serious mistakes that automatically result in a failed test. These occur when your actions create an immediate safety risk.
Some examples include:
-
Failing to signal, give way, or check for pedestrians/cars, forcing others to take evasive action
-
Mounting the kerb while driving
-
Colliding with another vehicle
-
Stopping the car in a dangerous or illegal spot
-
Running a red light or rolling through a stop sign
-
Exceeding the speed limit (even slightly) for more than five seconds or in a school zone
-
Ignoring or failing to respond correctly to directions from the examiner or police
-
Making decisions that require the examiner to intervene for safety reasons
These errors can risk both your safety and others, so it’s essential to stay focused and follow the rules.
