Driving Lessons

Standard driving lessons:

These one or two hour driving lessons are based in the student’s local area.

Lessons focus on teaching the driving skills required to complete the Q-Safe Practical driving test.

One 2 Pass Driving School understands that every student has different needs and learning styles, and lessons are tailored specifically to meet individual requirements.

Lessons include –
Learning about the features of the vehicles.
Setting customised mirrors and seat position.
Use of visual aids to assist in teaching and understanding of road rules.
Hazard perception and recognition.
Identifying and correcting poor driving habits.
Teaching of specific manoeuvres required to demonstrate in a practical driving test.

One hour driving lessons are normally kept closer to home. These lessons are great for practising mock tests – “test start”, “pre drive checks”, “manoeuvres” and assist in becoming familiarised with local testing roads. Also great for busy students whose timetables don’t allow for a longer lesson times.

Our lessons are set in a calm, assertive and safe manner. We always welcome parents and guardians to join us on driving lessons to understand our vehicle culture.

On our Hinterland Challenge 2 hour driving lessons gaining driving lesson experience you will drive through Beerwah, Mooloolah Valley, Eudlo, Palmwoods, Keils Mountain, Maroochydore, Cotton Tree, Minyama, Bokarina and back to Caloundra and Aura.

A challenging drive with hairpin turns, one lane bridges, train crossings, hill climbs and descends. A drivers drive that really challenges each student. 

On our Caboolture Express 2 hour drive you will drive through Beerwah, Glass house Mountains, Beerburrum and drive back merging at high speed on the Bruce Highway M1.

Often a multitude of speed zones and roadworks to contend with on this drive. 

On our Bribie Island International 2 hour scenic drive which is stunning. On this drive we take the students overseas, almost international – no passport required, just your Qld drivers’ licence for this driving experience.

This is a great drive, especially when early on in your learning driving journey.  On this drive students are learning to keep the car in a straight line and holding a constant speed. This is a nice introductory drive for any learner driver. 

On our Noosa Splash 2 hour driving lesson we take students through the very picturesque coastal roads and drive to the sunny shores of Noosa.

During this drive we get to navigate some undulating beach roads taking in all the smaller coastal suburbs. Sadly, we don’t have enough time to stop for a swim, coffee or lunch. Without a doubt a very pretty drive. 

On our Highway Interchange 2 hour driving lessons we hit the Bruce Highway M1, for interchange experiences driving on the Sunshine Motorway. During this driving lessons students learn to merge at high-speed navigating the on ramps and off ramps to the motorway at Sippy Downs, Dixon Road, Kawana Link Road and Glenfields Mountain Creek. 

If time prevails, we drive up to exit at the Bli Bli Nambour connection road and re-enter the M1 before our return journey safely home.  

On our Sunshine Coast Airport Flyover 2 hour driving lesson we drive to the Sunshine Coast airport at Marcoola to drive through the express drop off and pick up zone. 

This exciting drive allows our students to practice this journey in ready to collect their much-loved mums and dads from a weekend away, short trips or a vacay, so they know how to collect you safely after your well-deserved break.
