Don't just learn to drive.
Learn to think.
Learning to drive is about so much more than passing a test. At RoadSmart, you'll develop the skills, awareness and confidence to make safer decisions on the road — helping you become a capable, independent and thinking driver.
Five skills. One thinking driver.
Passing your driving test is an important milestone. But becoming a safe, capable driver takes more than knowing how to operate a car. Our lessons develop five essential skills that help you understand, manage and respond to the road around you.
Car Control
Develop the ability to control your vehicle smoothly, accurately and confidently in different situations.
Awareness
Understand what's happening around you, recognise potential hazards and stay aware of other road users.
Anticipation
Learn to recognise developing situations and consider what might happen next, before it becomes a problem.
Planning
Make informed decisions, plan ahead and give yourself time and space to deal with changing road conditions.
Judgement
Assess risks, choose appropriate actions and make safe decisions independently behind the wheel.
Starting from scratch or picking up where you left off?
Everyone starts their driving journey from a different place. Whether you've never sat behind the wheel or already have some driving experience, we'll help you develop your skills and make progress at a pace that works for you.
New to driving?
Never driven before? No problem. We'll introduce you to driving step by step, helping you build the foundations, confidence and skills needed to become a capable driver.
Already had some lessons?
Perhaps you've had lessons with another instructor, taken a break or need a fresh approach. We'll look at what you've already achieved and help you continue developing your driving skills.
