Frequently Asked Questions About Merrylands Driving School

Does Merrylands Driving School have a good track record for first-time test passes?

Yes, Merrylands Driving School reports a 75-80% first-attempt pass rate, which is well above typical averages. Learners here consistently tell us they passed on their first go, often with minimal or zero faults. Instructor Victor's approach is methodical and test-focused, covering exactly what the RMS assessor will be looking for. Published lesson prices start from around $60, confirm current rates when booking.

Can Merrylands Driving School help with overseas licence conversion in NSW?

Absolutely. Merrylands Driving School offers overseas licence conversion lessons and preparation for the NSW driving assessment. Victor has guided learners from other countries through the process, including those for whom English is a second language. He'll refresh your skills on Australian road rules, left-hand driving, and local test routes, so you're ready for the assessment required by Transport for NSW.

Is Victor at Merrylands Driving School patient with anxious or first-time learners?

Very much so. Families and learners consistently describe Victor as calm, patient, and encouraging, particularly with nervous students. He takes time to explain things clearly, builds confidence at the learner's pace, and creates a safe, relaxed learning environment. That patience applies equally to teenagers getting their L-plates and adults returning to driving after years off the road.

What makes Merrylands Driving School good value compared to other Merrylands instructors?

Merrylands Driving School charges the same rate every day, including weekends and public holidays, with no cancellation fees, which is unusual and removes hidden costs. Published lesson prices start from around $60. More importantly, with over 30 years' experience and a high first-attempt pass rate, learners typically need fewer total lessons to reach test standard, which saves money in the long run.

Does Merrylands Driving School teach manual or automatic transmission?

Merrylands Driving School teaches automatic transmission only. Victor's lessons cover all essential skills, hill starts, reverse parking, roundabouts, merging, and defensive driving, in modern automatic vehicles. If you specifically need manual lessons, you'll want to check with other instructors in the area, but for most learners today, automatic is the practical choice.
