Available in automatic and manual across all Brisbane metropolitan suburbs. Note: This special offer is limited to one per new student.

Including the one hour Keys2Drive component conducted with you, your supervisor (often a family member), and your driving instructor.
Services
We entirely understand your thoughts around learning to drive, and how finding the right driving instructor will be central to you successfully learning to drive and passing your practical driving test. We never assume anything. This ensures every student we train acquires the same high standard of core driving skills in areas such as cockpit controls, vehicle operation and blind spots, etc.
Choose from a wide range of hours across seven days a week or by appointment you can even help you catch-up on a few missing 'night' hours! Or perhaps you have a few questions - then feel free to call anytime during business hours and we'll be pleased to help. Whether it is finding your first instructor or booking another session with your favourite instructor?
Learning to drive for the first time can be stressful for students and their parents or partners in fact, everyone! Students are typically on a big learning curve while their supervisors typically, parents or partners are often under equipped to teach driving - often because it was such a long time ago since they were learner drivers themselves.
Quite possibly, it's been some time (80 - 90 hours ago) since you last practiced with a driving instructor? Or maybe you may have never had a driving lesson before? Or perhaps you have an overseas drivers licence that you need to transition across to Queensland? We can assist with all of the above, getting you well prepared for your practical driving test.
The big moment is just around the corner and now you need to turn all that practice into success! So you will not only need to get to the Test Centre but have the use of a car for your practical driving test? We can assist on the day - by picking you up for a little practice or refresher along the way before you arrive at the Test Centre and letting you loose with the examiner in your instructor's car.

I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a driving instructor, without any hesitation. He is so passionate about his job and is an excellent teacher with a positive and friendly manner. We tried two other unsuitable instructors before we found Mike, so we knew he was good! Our son passed his test on his first attempt and really enjoyed his lessons. Mike was skilled at making lessons entertaining and engaging.

Mike has been fabulous with our daughter. She’s going for her manual driving licence and Mike has given her wonderful guidance. She’s confident & ready because of his superb teaching. Thank you so much Mike.

Mike was recommended to us via a friend as we were not satisfied with the instruction our daughter was receiving. Mike was outstanding. My daughter grew in confidence and skill immediately and she enjoyed the lessons she had. Mike was clear and realistic about her readiness to test, and never gave the impression he was milking lessons from us, but rather gave a clear appraisal of level and actually encouraged us to test earlier than we expected. Our daughter got her licence first time. Thanks Mike.

Mike is a very patient instructor who explains road rules and driving manoeuvres very well. He ensures that you get the most out of each lesson so you have the opportunity to practice all the required driving manoeuvres each time. I was able to pass my manual driving test on the first try without having to take too many lessons.

Mike at LPasso Driving school is fantastic! I would highly recommend him as I passed my P's first time around. He is insistent on being a safe driver and provided me with the skills and confidence to become just that. Mike is honest, friendly and adjusts his teaching style to suit the learner. He is without a doubt the best driving instructor in Brisbane. I highly recommend him.

Mike is a great teacher! He is patient and makes lessons fun. After going through two previous schools I was lucky to get some spots with Mike and he has made a huge difference to my driving skill and confidence. All of his 5 star reviews are well earned

Mike is the best driving instructor. I have learnt so much and have gained a lot of confidence through his lessons. He is a very calm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and patient instructor. He gives so much encouragement and genuinely cares about the success of his students. I have had numerous instructors in the past and no one is better than Mike from LPASSO, I highly recommend him.

Mike was absolutely fantastic in his support & guidance with my daughter. She was adamant that manual driving was an impossible task, but was proficiently driving very quickly. We will use Mike again for our next daughter.

L PASSO are a fantastic driving school. Mike and Jonathan are both great instructors and great to talk to. I was quite nervous about learning to drive, but Mike quickly turned me into a confident, safe driver. Within a few weeks of lessons I was able to pass my test first attempt. I highly recommend L PASSO Driving Scool to any learner driver who is seeking lessons.

Mike is an absolutely wonderful and truly professional driving instructor. I was nervous to start lessons but from the get go he made me feel so comfortable. He tailors every lesson to the individual student and if I wasn’t understanding something he would explain it in a different way so it made sense. He is so patient and kind and has a wicked sense of humour. The most important thing is Mike is truly teaching you how to drive safely, not just being able to pass a test. Thanks Mike for giving me all the tools I needed to pass first go! I would gladly recommend him to anyone!

We highly recommend "L Passo Driving School" because Mike has been very professional, punctual and teaches safe driving techniques. Mike also encouraged us to join our son's lessons so we could continue to teach these principles with the same consistency. Great gift idea for any upcoming learners!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Mike has been an amazingly kind and wonderful instructor, I was recommended by a friend and am a very nervous sort of driver from overseas. He has been very attentive to the bad habits and mistakes that I picked up along the years and adjusted to my learning method which was a very visual learner. It is most definitely a great driving school, fantastic value for money plus a great man with good conversations! Thank you Mike!

I've been taking lessons with Mike and I've loved every single one! Mike is such a nice guy and he has really helped me feel confident and comfortable driving in a manual car. I definitely recommend this driving school! Very professional, great services and great prices!

We chose LPasso driving school for our son based on the great google reviews, and now couldn't be happier to submit our own great review.
Mike was our instructor and immediately came across as a warm and friendly person. He was always prompt to lessons and kept us (as parents) in the loop as to exactly what they did and what areas we could focus more on. After a number of lessons and completing the 100 hours, Mike booked a test for a Saturday afternoon and were thrilled when our son passed.
A heart felt "thank you" Mike for making our son a better driver, we appreciate your relaxed and stress

How on earth are you meant to be teaching people when you are speeding and tailgaiting other cars on the road up on the north side? Not a smart thing to do when you have your business name proudly mounted on… the side of your car. Was a white car btw, sunday morning up through Windsor. You guys must be teaching the idiots on the road :)

I had a fantastic time learning from Mike, He's a friendly honest man who really helped me to learn how to not just pass my test but feel confident and safe on the road. I recommend booking with him, with him tutoring me I was able to pass on my first attempt. Cheers Mike.
