After a bit of a break 🏖️ I’m back and ready for business! 🙌🏽 I have lesson spaces as early as next week 😱(if you can get in quick enough!🫣)
I have heard there is talk of needing to book a year in advance to secure a space, as there are limited options in our small town. At this stage My situation only allows me to book for one school term at a time. (Being a mum of growing young kids who’s school schedules can be tricky to navigate).
I understand there is a need and the department are aware of the situation in Port Lincoln. Grateful to our community for their understanding and I wish I could make more hours in my day or duplicate myself to accommodate everyone’s needs.
Message 📳 through my page to enquiry ❔about lessons today. #

Quick Shout out 🗣️ to all the amazing clients I’ve had so far this year! It’s been a busy beginning to 2025 🗓️ and unfortunately not looking to ease up any time soon. As it stands my diary is now fully booked 📬, for the rest of the year!😱. (And not like a Jack and Rose on a floating door 🚪 in the freezing 🥶 ocean kinda full, I actually have no 0️⃣ spaces left!) This may change in the meantime and I will post if multiple spaces open.

I’ve had a lot of people ask 🤷🏽‍♀️ about being on a waiting list 🗒️ hoping to fill a spot. Unfortunately spaces opening up are very rare, and if they do they’re usually needed for the current students I have on the books. So at this stage I’m not 🙅🏽‍♀️ running a waiting list.

As always I’m very grateful 🙌🏽 to everyone for all their patience and understanding in these busy times. And especially to those understanding 🙏🏼 that I am just one person running a busy little business with a life to live outside of work also. With no admin ✍🏽 team it can make answering 📲 phone calls and messages a little delayed. But I do endeavor to answer them all, even if it’s not the answer you were hoping for. Thankyou again for your understanding!

Hi 👋🏼, I have been receiving a lot of enquires 🤔 in regards to the new lane structure between the recently refurbished roundabouts on Liverpool street. Hopefully this post can help clarify for those who are finding it all a little confusing 🫤 now.
A quick scroll through the Australian road rule book 📖 shows the situation is now classed as a zip merge rather than a lane change.
Since the redo of the roads through this section, lane lines now end ⛔️ before the round about, which will then lead to a merging situation in order for only one 1️⃣ line of traffic to enter the round about at a time.
The Australian road rules for merging state that the car in front has right of way. The merging car needs to indicate ✴️ and the cars behind need to provide space for that car to merge. It is not a lane change situation anymore, whereby there is two 2️⃣ separate continuing lanes and the car wishing to enter anothers lane has to find a safe gap before crossing into the flow of traffic.
It is a big change and it is a bit tricky, especially if you’ve lived in the town for a long time and are used to the old round about set up. The car on the left isn’t ‘pushing in’ as it seems, they are just zip merging.

Hope this helps ☺️. Have added a couple of screen shot examples from the road rule book which will also help for those who like visuals 🙋🏽‍♀️.
Safe travels and merry Christmas 🎄 to all!

Happy Holidays to all the school leavers!
With all the extra traffic 🚘 and pedestrians 🚶🏼‍♀️ with cruise ships 🚢 in town this Christ season 🎄, keep an extra eye out and stay safe and vigilant on the roads. I’ve found that extra look 👀 before entering intersections and round abouts has saved me once or twice ✌🏽 from mis-reading 🤷🏽‍♀️ someone’s lingering indicator (especially at roundabouts).
Stay safe and enjoy your break! ☺️😎

The most frequently asked question most instructors get is ‘how many lessons do I need to get my Ps?’ And the answer is 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. Let me explain....
The Competency based training & assessment course or ‘log book method’ of getting your licence is very much based on each individuals driving abilities. The key word here is - competency.

There is no ‘set’ amount of lessons as such to obtain your provisional licence. There is, however, a certain amount of things to learn ;30 tasks (found at the back of the log book in the yellow 🟨 section). The learner has to show competence in each task for it to be signed off, and all 30 (30 being the final drive) need to be signed off✍🏽 (by the same instructor) before sitting the ‘test’ or final drive. Most tasks are easily 👌🏼 learned and signed off ✍🏽 in each lesson, but some tasks require a little in between lesson practice.

Practice in between lessons is key 🔑 (and also free 🤩😆👍🏼). In all my 14yrs of driver instruction experience the one thing that stands out is how little a person who practices what they’ve learned in lessons, ends up paying 💰 for lessons! It is only a very short course which will last a life time. And as the old saying goes, Practice, practice, practice makes perfect 👌🏼

🚙 A post to help understand the process of the cbt & a driving course (competency based training and assessment) that each learner has to pass in order to get their Ps. Please share with anyone you know who has an up and coming P plater. 🙏🏼

This course is designed to equip each student with all the skills necessary to drive 🚗 safely and lawfully ✔️on their own. It is a huge responsibility for them, and the community that they are fully prepared. My job in lessons is to show them the steps 🔢 involved and to give them some good tips and hints on how to learn all the things necessary to pass ✅. It is then the responsibility of each student to take the time between lessons to practice and perfect each of those skills learned in the lesson. Lessons are for me to show more skills to be practiced and then to assess 🖊️ their competency of the things from the previous lesson. If there is no driving or reading 📖(study essentially) from one lesson to the next, the assessment standard isn’t reached and competency isn’t achieved and the skill won’t be able to be signed off 🙅🏼😔. Which then turns lesson time into practice time which pushes back time ⏰ to learn all the other new things and progress through the course is stunted. It makes it a longer process than it needs to be (not to mention more costly 💰).
To ensure the student is able to get their Ps by their due date practice is essential and driving hours should be almost completed. Much like passing a subject at school 🏫, the work between the actual lesson is what gets them over the line to reach the score necessary to pass the subject ☺️👌🏼

I love to see my students fully prepared and capable of driving and find great joy in handing over the certificate of competency at the end of their course. 🎓

Attached is a repost which also explains the cbt & a driving course.

Happy holidays and safe driving out there! ☺️🤩👌🏼
