Destined to Drive Driving School

Great advice 😍 take extra care while driving this Australia Day long weekend. Put your phone's down and pay attention and carry a bottle of water with you. Dehydration is a thing. Regular short breaks are important too. Driver fatigue can be fatal. Stay safe. Plan ahead while driving and pay attention to your surroundings. 🚙🏍️🚛🛻

Heading away for the long weekend?

Before you hit the road, check VicTraffic and VicEmergency for the latest warnings and road closures.

Some roads remain closed or restricted due to bushfires and flooding, with access limited to emergency services and residents only. If you’re travelling through impacted areas, stick to major roads, follow signposted detours, and take direction from traffic management on site.

If a road is closed, it hasn’t been declared safe yet - crews are working hard to reopen roads as quickly and safely as possible.

Please stick to speed limits, listen to local radio for updates, and be ready to change your plans if conditions change.

Okay peeps, I have a few things to say about the amount of collisions in and around South Gippsland Hwy lately.

As a driving instructor I frequently witness poor driving behaviour.

I'm not just talking about excessive speed, I am talking about poor decisions while driving.

While excessive speed is a major concern, it's apparent to me that many drivers are failing to follow simple road rules and are also seen to be taking unnecessary risks.

Some things to consider are:
that road rules change in minor ways from time to time and every ten years the State Government overhaul all of the road rules. Well at least review all of them.

It's our responsibility as road users to drive safely, follow the road rules and control your vehicle.

Some of my personal observations while driving recently:

My pet peeve, not stopping at Stop Signs. They aren't an optional signs.
They are there to stop you so you can actually assess whether you need to also give way once you have fully stopped.
Often the design of the road or the speed limits of the road you are about to enter may be greater, or it may have poor visibility. Consider your safety and that of others.

Road Rules at Crossroads.
C'mon people. It's not that hard and yet I witness drivers getting it wrong EVERY day! Revise.

Visit VicRoads online. Get it right!! because if you don't it could cost you or your loved ones their lives.

Failing to give way. Yep that's right. Are you willing to get hit by that truck or hit by a vehicle doing 60kph or 100kph? If not, then take a bit of care. Look properly. Don't take unnecessary risks.
You aren't going to just be late for your appointment, you are not going to get there; At All..

Today very sadly a fatality at Ruby and another collision at Leongatha South on the detour because of the first collision.

Honestly I am just speechless.
Slow down and take the time to look properly. Especially when turning. No-one wants to get that call from emergency services and Police. They have a tough job as it is. Don't be a statistic.

Please drive safely. Be responsible. Think of others.

Wishing everyone a Very Safe and Happy Xmas and a Healthy and Successful New Year 2026.

No driving for me, no teaching either for the next week or so.

I hope you all get to enjoy time with your families and please stay safe on our roads. 🤩🎄🎁

I'll be back on board from Monday 5th Jan, 2026

A car is a nice gift for Xmas but a few driving lessons will enhance your experience.

Just like Christmas, it's done in a happy and peaceful environment.

If you would like a gift voucher for your loved one, presented on a professionally coloured card with room for a personal message including an envelope, don't hesitate to call or message me now. It can be emailed if preferred.

It's the best gift you can give your young adult to encourage them to begin learning to drive in a safe and secure vehicle or prepare your learner for the driving test.

Hi All, just back from an amazing 5 week holiday exploring this vast and diverse country we live in. 10,000 kms. The best way to experience it, is to get out amongst it.

To do that you need a valid driver's licence. Give me a call and let's make it happen. 🤩

I am currently away until 6th September, but if you need assistance after I return then please feel free to message or call me and I will assist you as I already have some bookings in place. 🙂🚗

Good morning one and all, if anyone needs my assistance for a driving test during the September school holidays I would appreciate a call or text sooner rather than later as I book out pretty quickly. This will give time for a couple of lessons to prepare beforehand.
It's all in the planning and ex*****on 👌🚗
