About BJ Driving School

BJ Driving School operates in Mowbray and the greater Launceston area, offering automatic driving lessons for learners holding L1 and L2 licences across northern Tasmania. Instructor Damon holds a Certificate IV in driving instruction and runs full 60-minute lessons, longer than the 50-minute standard many schools offer, with pickup and drop-off included throughout Launceston and surrounding areas. Damon is repeatedly praised for his patience and skill with nervous or anxious learners. Reviews describe him as calm and reassuring, staying composed even when mistakes happen and building confidence step by step. One learner who had lost confidence with a previous instructor found that Damon encouraged them to keep going and helped rebuild their self-belief. Another mentions feeling very scared before their test but passing in one go after just two weeks of lessons with Damon. That first-time success is a common thread, learners regularly mention passing their driving test on their first attempt, with Damon knowing exactly when they were ready. BJ Driving School also offers international licence conversions, supporting drivers transitioning from overseas licences. One learner converted from a Thai licence, while another with limited driving experience passed their conversion test in one go. The school provides gift vouchers and runs lessons up until 9pm on weekdays and 7pm on weekends, making it easier to fit sessions around work or study. For anyone in Launceston searching for patient, professional automatic driving lessons with a proven track record of getting learners test-ready and past their exam first time, BJ Driving School is well worth a call.
