  Beach Road on sunny Sundays

  Keep your eye on the road and watch out for all those beach-bound pedestrians, especially at Half Moon Bay.

  Great Ocean Road

  One to try when you’ve clocked up a lot of hours and experience. Through Geelong to one of the world's most picturesque drives. This is not a divided road and is pretty narrow and hairy in parts — so there’s no room for straying off your course. Anticipate the road ahead, ease off the accelerator as you reach the crest of a hill, or all those hairpin corners and allow your supervising driver to enjoy the view. Your eyes will be strictly on the road.

  Beach Road weekdays

  Plenty of trucks and traffic but it flows well and there are roundabouts to negotiate and gives you a chance to escape to suburban streets if it all becomes too much.

  Lake Wendouree and Parklands

  At Ballarat, this is another scenic trip to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Plenty of road for parking and reversing practice. Give way to ducks!

  Brunton Ave/Flinders Street

  Learn how to stop and start without riding the clutch if you are driving a manual and get used to being in a lot of traffic, especially during peak hour.

  Grand Ridge Road

  One of Gippsland’s hidden gems. Drive across the mountains and test yourself alongside cyclists, bushwalkers and the occasional wombat. Expect the unexpected.

  Gembrook, Cockatoo, the Basin and up Upwey way

  A "drive in the hills" has been a Melbourne tradition for generations. Now it’s your turn. When you make it to the top, stop for a Devonshire tea — you’ll deserve it after the climb up. This is a particularly challenging piece of driving on a foggy or wet day. Remember to slow down and take the corners with caution.

  Westgate Bridge

  Learn how to manage sun glare at dusk (travelling outbound) or dawn (inbound) and allow your passengers to enjoy the view of the city and the bay. On windy days, it’s a good spot to test your car handling skills as the wind buffets the bridge.

  Sydney Road

  Another great place to test your patience, quick thinking and smooth driving as you share the road with trams, their tracks and parked cars. Try to anticipate the traffic ahead and keep an eye on your speed control.

  Alpine Adventures

  Set out to conquer the mountain. We suggest Mt Donna Buang or Lake Mountain as good drives to test your progress as you become experienced. You may even find a bit of ice or snow on the way and have the chance to tackle driving with chains! If you ski, you’d really be better off learning how to drive on snowy roads now rather than encountering the white stuff for the first time when you’re on your own! Again take it nice and easy and slow down on those bends.
