How Countrywide helps until you pass your driving test!
Our goal is to teach our students to drive safely and to assist them in gaining their licence.
Why use us for your Driving Test ?
The Driving Test is a very important time for learner drivers because as soon as they pass they are able to "go solo" and drive on their own. This is a very big event in most young Australian's lives as it as
The student can be very nervous on this day and the lesson just before the test is very important for the Instructor to prepare them both physically and emotionally by calming their nerves and preparing them for the
Some learners prefer to take the test in the family car as they have had a great many hours of familiarity with it. Others prefer to attend the test with their driving instructor and attempt the test with the instructor. Countrywide Driving School offers our customers a Test service that is much more than just car hire!
Our offering is a Test Day Package service which is for 2 hours and includes a lesson before the test, instructor presenting the student for the test, use of our car for the test, debriefing and return to home at the end of the test. The price of this service is $150.00 when prepaid at the time of booking.
There are some very real benefits of our service including:
- Higher pass rates when the test is attempted in a driving instructors car
- A more relaxed Examiner as they have access to the dual controls
- The pre-test lesson time allows the instructor to calm, prepare and build confidence in the student just before the test
- The Driving Examiner will not conduct the test if in their opinion the vehicle is not roadworthy
- The Driving School cars are inspected by the Government every year
Our recommendation is that the student should take at least one lesson before the test. We are happy for this lesson to be a Keys2Drive Lesson (free to the student) if they qualify, and the focus can be The P Plate Ready Indicator program.

What our customers say...
Can I take this opportunity to just say that your team at Rightway Driving are amazing to dealwith. The entire experience with your organisation has been great and I cannot fault any of your staff. Stephen Butler was thorough, professional, engaging and clear with Dylan. I have a younger son who will be starting his driving journey in 2 years and I will most certainly be coming straight back to Rightway Driving. Many thanks for the great job you are doing for our children. Regards, Tessa.Tessa - Forest Lake - Feb-17
