VDS Introduction

Introduction

The Valley Driving School (VDS) is a small, personalised venture whose primary goal is to guide the Learner Driver from L-Plates to P-Plates (Probationary Licence) in a safe, educative, affable and efficient manner. Flexibility throughout the entire process of learning to drive remains at the forefront of the operations: from driving hours, location, getting through the 120 hours of supervised driving, and anything else in the driving experience between L-Plates to P-Plates.

VDS covers the greater Latrobe Valley region. This includes the nearby surrounding towns and areas (see map) of: Churchill; Morwell; Traralgon; Moe/Newborough; Yallourn North; Tyers; Erica/Rawson; Glengarry; Yinnar; Boolarra; and Mirboo North. We operate during the day and the night (weekdays and weekends) by arrangement. Such flexibility permits driving experience in a wide range of environmental and road conditions. Through VDS you can, where appropriate, tailor the instructional program to suit your particular needs.

VDS offers instruction in both automatic and manual cars, each fitted with dual controls – this, as you will immediately appreciate, helps ensure a higher degree of safety. Cars are maintained to a professional standard.

One of the special services VDS offers is the Supervised Driving Program where, at a very favourable rate, you can drive the car in your quest to accumulate the necessary minimum 120 hours (as demanded by Vic Roads) of driving practice before sitting your actual Vic Roads driving test. It is a program that can be readily adjusted to accommodate your particular circumstances.

Assistance and guidance in understanding the theoretical aspects of the Learner Driver experience is carefully given and measured, ensuring that you, the learner driver derive confidence and competence appropriately.

Throughout the entire learning process, VDS endeavours to display all the professionalism one would typically expect from any tuition/instructional service. To this end, VDS is a full member of the Australian Driver Trainer’s Association (Vic) with all the necessary insurances.
