We started Dalmatian Driving School in early 2011 around the northern suburbs of Melbourne (Bundoora Vicroads). As you may be aware, this area is very cosmopolitan and as a result has a huge variation in driving and driver abilities. We cut our teeth by mentoring learner drivers in consistently heavy and, many times, chaotic traffic conditions.
Although we teach both automatic and manual, in Geelong we have experienced a consistent increase in demand for our manual lessons and have been encouraged by the number of families who still own at least one manual car. This, as a consequence, makes it much easier for you to become more proficient in the mechanics of manual driving.

Services
This includes pickup (approximately 90 minutes prior to test), pre-test warm up lesson (approximately 75 minutes duration), on-road drive test & drop off after test. Our instructor Simon Birrell is "Keys 2 Drive" accredited so please ask us about your first "keys 2 Drive" free lesson which is funded by the Australian Government and is 100% obligation free.
If your learner is having trouble staying in their lane (position on road) and wanders from side to side, it may help if you have them look much further along the road, this will allow them to use their peripheral vision to check where they are in the lane. It is advisable to explain the value of peripheral vision and demonstrate whilst the vehicle is initially stationary at the side of the road.

Best driving instructor that you can ever get! I came from a different country and when I first start to learn driving, I got a different driving instructor from another driving school, I got so duanted that I gave up and couldn't start learning again for over a year. Then I found this place on Google and met Michelle. She is so calm and professional!! I passed my license test wthin one go thanks to her! I have become such a confident driver and was already able to drive in Melbourne CBD the week after I got my license! Incredible driving school!!! Five stars!!!

Simon was fantastic. From a parents perspective he went above and beyond for our daughter.
As soon as she got her learners she had 6 lessons with Simon and he showed her the important things she needed to learn to do from the start. I am sure this had a major impact on her when she was learning to drive and accumulate her 120 hours. I always felt safe in the car with her and today she went for her licence.
She was successful and obtained her "P's" without any issues.
Thank you so much Simon.
If you are looking for a patient and very thorough instructor "Dalmation Driving School" is definately
