Should I use a driving school or a private instructor?

With DriveBuddy you compare independent instructors directly — their ratings, prices, cars and availability — and choose the one that suits you, instead of being assigned whoever a single school has free. You're not locked into a package, and you can switch instructors any time.

What if I don't get along with my instructor?

No problem — you're never locked in with DriveBuddy. Switch to a different Acacia Ridge instructor whenever you like, and your DriveBuddy credits work with any instructor.

Is it worth paying for driving lessons?

Yes — as well as learning correct technique, in QLD each hour with a professional instructor counts as 3 hours in your logbook, so a few lessons can save you many hours of supervised practice before the test.

Should I pay for lessons or just teach my teen myself?

You can — and you'll need to log plenty of supervised practice with a parent or carer either way. But a few professional lessons are still worth it: an instructor teaches current test technique, catches habits that are easy to pass on without realising, and in QLD each lesson hour counts as 3 logbook hours — so lessons actually save you supervising time. Most families do both: lessons to build skills, parent practice to clock up the hours.

What age can I start learning to drive in QLD?

In QLD you can get your learner licence from 16 years old, and start booking lessons straight away.
