Never Too Late to Get Your Driver’s Licence

Recently Manu Feildel, celebrity chef that he is, realised that he was not beyond the law. Upon receiving a $762 fine for driving without a supervisor or L plates, Manu realised the error of his ways…. and decided to get some driving lessons.

News.com.au Confidential reports that the Frenchman took a driving lesson in his silver Renault Koleos. Nice ride, but we at Northside Driver Training prefer to instruct new drivers in a late model Suzuki Swift, with dual controls and a really small turning circle.

Manu’s story proves that you don’t need to be young to brush up on driving skills and get your licence.

In fact, if you grew up in another country, you may be quite nervous about Australian roads and rules.

The good news is, the more you have a patient and courteous instructor with you while driving, the more comfortable you will become with our system and driving defensively in general. A good driving instructor will let you know all those little tips about driving in lanes, who gives way in a roundabout, driving slowly past schools, and so on.

What About Young Drivers?

We have all heard about the devastation caused after a car crashed that was driven by a youth without a licence or only on their Learners. Young guys and girls really want to drive and often will disregard their own safety (and a few laws) to have a go. While driving lessons may seem unaffordable to some sectors of the population in the Moreton Bay area, if it potentially saves the life of your son or daughter to drive a little better and react defensively, then it is well worthwhile.
