Hi, my name is Ash. I have extensive experience as a driving instructor and as a test assessor. My role as an assessor was two sided, at times it was difficult when learners are unsuccessful and other times full of happiness. It really highlighted the importance of each learner’s journey and the supervision and instruction they receive along the way. For me, I take great pride in teaching you how to drive safely on the road. With my high attention to detail, I ensure that you get quality tuition and gain the understanding and confidence you need to perfect the basics. From the basics, we progress to more complicated manoeuvres and situations, learning how to best approach and handle a range of scenarios. All lessons are tailored to suit your needs, your learning style and your development. I am a calm and friendly driving instructor. It is really satisfying when each learner becomes independent and safe on the road. I love my job and am passionate about it

A supervisor must have a full (unrestricted) Australian driver’s licence, held for at least one year. They must sit in the front passenger seat while supervising.

Are there any speed limits for learner drivers?

Yes, learners in NSW must not exceed 90 km/h, regardless of the signposted speed limit.

Can I drive on motorways and freeways as a learner?

Yes, learner drivers in NSW can drive on all roads, including motorways and freeways, as long as they are supervised by a qualified driver.

What happens if I commit a traffic offence as a learner?

Important Information for Learner Drivers

1. What are the key safety tips for learner drivers?
  • Always check your blind spots before changing lanes or merging.
  • Keep a safe following distance (at least 3 seconds in normal conditions, more in wet weather).
  • Avoid distractions like mobile phones – it’s illegal to use them, even hands-free.
  • Drive at a safe speed, not just the limit, especially in poor weather or heavy traffic.
  • Stay calm and focused – nervousness can lead to mistakes.
2. What should I do if I’m involved in an accident?
  • Stop immediately and check if anyone is injured.
  • Call 000 if there are injuries or major damage.
  • Exchange details (name, contact, licence, rego) with the other driver(s).
  • If safe, move the vehicle to avoid blocking traffic.
  • Report the accident to the police if required (e.g., if someone is hurt).
3. How can I stay safe while driving at night?
  • Make sure your headlights are on and working properly.
  • Reduce your speed – visibility is lower at night.
  • Be extra cautious of pedestrians, cyclists, and animals.
  • Avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights to prevent glare.
  • Never drive when too tired – fatigue slows reaction times.
4. How should I drive in wet or bad weather?
  • Increase your following distance to allow extra stopping time.
  • Use your headlights (low beam) to improve visibility.
  • Avoid sudden braking or sharp turns to prevent skidding.
  • Drive in the tracks of the car ahead to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
  • If conditions are too dangerous, pull over safely and wait for improvement.
5. What should I do if I feel nervous or overwhelmed while driving?
  • Pull over in a safe place and take deep breaths.
  • Practise driving in low-traffic areas until you feel more confident.
  • Avoid pressure from passengers or other drivers – go at your own pace.
  • Take professional lessons to build confidence with an instructor.
  • Remind yourself that practice makes perfect – nerves will decrease over time.
