Got A Question? Ask Away
Welcome to our go-to resource for answers to all your questions! Can’t find what you’re looking for? Feel free to reach out to Joe about anything related to getting ready for your Cairns drivers licence.
Is it compulsory to take driving lessons?
No, however it is advisable (Don’t bet misled by ‘other’ schools).
Can I take more than 10 lessons with a Cairns driving school?
Absolutely, however the 1 hour lessons only count as triple (i.e. 1 hour = 3 log book hours) for the first 10 lessons. After that, a 1 hour lesson = 1 hour in the log book
Do I have to wear shoes to drive?
No, not in Queensland.
Do your cars have dual controls?
Yes – a driving school must have dual controls by law.
Do I need to bring my learner licence to every driving lesson?
Yes! If you do not bring your licence with you we are not allowed to drive by law. Worse still – You still need to pay for the hour that you have booked even though we can’t drive! – so please don’t forget your licence!
Can I use your car for the driving test?
Yes absolutely. It is a good idea as you will get a lesson prior to the test, which should help calm your nerves as well.
Is a driving test hard?
No, but it is easy to fail. The number 1 reason for failing the test is SPEED, followed by not stopping completely at stop signs and failing to give way.
What is your Cancellation Policy?
Please be advised that Joe’s Driving School requires 24 hrs notice if clients wish to cancel or reschedule. Charges may apply if you fail to give notice at least 24 hrs before your lesson.
