Driving Zone
At Driving Zone, our mission is to create the best, safest drivers in Melbourne and around Port Philip Bay. Driving Zone was founded in 2003. Our male and female instructors have logged over 200,000 lesson hours for learner drivers, leading to over 7,500 driving tests passed. We create safe drivers for life, not just to pass the driving test.

So when our graduate drivers are out on the road on their own they are less at risk of collisions. With over 200,000 learner driver hours logged and growing, we've used this experience to create one of Melbourne's most comprehensive driver training programs. We help learner drivers log sufficient hours, concentrating on safe driving principles and increasing driver awareness.
Services
Established in 2003, Driving Zone has been a leader in learner training and driving tests in the inner city areas, which include the many bay side areas, the CBD, and surrounding suburbs. A fresh and exciting approach to driving education, Driving Zone offers a professional and highly qualified instructing method that will enable learners to confidently enter the Victorian road system.
Driving instructor Alex Vouvaris, from the Driving Zone driving school in Melbourne, yesterday welcomed the move to introduce compulsory driver training, but said training would be more beneficial before young drivers obtained their P-plates. There's no point making lessons compulsory for a P-plater who is already on the road and who has already developed bad habits.
I couldn't be happier with my experience at. Driving Zone. My instructor Timothy Chan was so incredibly skilled, calm, patient, caring and informative. Our lessons allowed me to learn not only how to drive but to understand how to be a safe and smart driver. He prepared me for my test at Carlton (which is no easy feat) and although it is one of the hardest routes to pass, I passed with a perfect drive first go.
The Emerson School and Driving Zone first partnered up in 2015 and now again in 2016 to provide a Student Driver Ed Program in Terms 2 & 3 for its students. It has been very successful so far, with most students finding it is very beneficial and informative. All the students attending the classes are pre learner permit holders being trained to get their L's.
Alex has been a driver trainer/assessor since 2003 and has diversified within the industry training learner drivers, probationary drivers, fully licenced drivers and overseas licence holders. He also delivers driver education programs within high schools, some of which are Emmanuel College, Aitken College, Emerson School and many more.

I had the best experience with Bill & Driving Zone! Bill is very patient, kind & informative, he gave clear thorough instruction & really guided me through the whole process from simply getting used to driving, all the way to being a safe solo driver. Bill has the most extensive knowledge & is always happy to answer any questions, ensuring to build both your driving skills & general confidence on the road. Highly recommend Bill & Driving Zone, you won't find anyone with more experience (or a better personality!) for your driving preparation!

Highly recommend David as an instructor, I learnt a lot from him and thanks to his help was able to drive confidently and prepare well to pass my first licence test! He generously allowed me to use his car for the test and helped to calm my nerves on the day, can’t recommend him enough.

I was a bag of nerves and hadn't been in a car in ages. David was great at handling that and by the time it came to my test I felt much more confident. I cannot recommend David more highly, he is extremely approachable, professional and above all patient. By the end of our sessions I felt that there was no issue that would slip me on the test, his understanding of the road rules and test locations is second to none.
