Got a low tyre pressure warning? Don’t panic, you can inflate your tyres yourself at most petrol stations. 🚗

Check the recommended pressure on the sticker inside the driver’s door, set the machine to the correct kPa or PSI, connect the hose and wait for the beep.

Parents, are you more nervous than your learner driver? 😅

In Victoria, learners under 21 need to complete 120 hours of supervised driving before taking the drive test. But let’s be honest, those 120 hours can feel stressful for both the learner and the parent sitting in the passenger seat.

As a former VicRoads driving examiner and driving instructor, here are a few tips for you.

Save this reel if you are supervising a learner drive.

Another round of test passes, and we couldn’t be prouder! 🎉
We recently received a review from a student who transferred to us, and it honestly meant so much:
“GuangYi is incredibly patient and has a rare ability to read his students‘ characters and skill levels. He knows exactly when to offer encouragement and when to give direct, constructive feedback without triggering overthinking.
It’s easy to find someone to teach you the basics, but it’s hard to find a true coach who prepares you both technically and psychologically.”

Every student comes to us with a different story.
Some are getting behind the wheel for the very first time.
Some have failed before and are trying to rebuild their confidence.
Some can drive, but feel completely unsure about the test process and what examiners are actually looking for.
That’s why our lessons are never just about “doing the right moves”.
We care about helping you understand the test, recognise what matters on each part of the route, follow examiner instructions with confidence, and most importantly, stay calm when it counts.

Receiving feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do, and motivates us to keep putting care into every single lesson.

If you’re preparing for your Carlton driving test, you’re welcome to book online or DM us anytime.

How do we help complete beginners pass their driving test in just 10 lessons? 🎯
A lot of learners take dozens of lessons but still don’t even know what the test is actually assessing.
The real problem? They’re just driving by feel without a clear system.
At Shortcut Driving, we’ve designed a 10-lesson structured program for beginners, created by a former Carlton VicRoads examiner.
Most of our students follow the plan, stay on track, and pass their test successfully.
🔹 Stage 1: Build foundations
🔹 Stage 2: Test-focused training
🔹 Stage 3: Real mock tests
Every lesson is tracked, so you always know where you are, what to improve, and what’s next.
If you’re tired of driving by feel and want a system that actually works, DM us to book your first lesson 🚗

Get your learner permit NOW (even if you’re not planning to drive yet)

🚗Getting a Victorian driver licence is simpler than you think.
As a former VicRoads examiner, here is what I tell every new driver: there are only three tests standing between you and your licence.
The Learner Permit Test. The Hazard Perception Test. The Drive Test.

But passing the tests alone is not enough.
There is a mandatory holding period before you can sit the drive test. And the clock only starts once you have your learner permit.
Every week you delay getting your L is a week you are delaying your drive test.
So even if you are not ready to drive yet, get your learner permit now. Start the clock early, test earlier.
Check our post for the full breakdown of requirements and timelines.

Here’s what actually happens in a VicRoads drive test 👇

1️⃣ Check-in
Arrive, verify your identity, and get ready to start.

2️⃣ Pre-drive check
The examiner will stand outside and ask you to demonstrate basic controls (wipers, headlights, etc.).

3️⃣ On-road test
Real driving + key tasks like reverse parallel parking.
Your safety awareness and decision-making matter most.

4️⃣ Results
You’ll get your result and brief feedback right after the test.

Test coming up? We’ll show you exactly what to expect.
Book with us.

Ex VicRoads Testing Officer reveals what REALLY matters in your drive test 👀
Not perfect parking.
Not flawless technique.
What examiners care about at:
- Whether you observe in advance?
- Whether you understand and apply the road rules
- Your speed control
- Your safety awareness
