NSW Drivers Licence Test Criteria

The NSW Transport RTA driver licence test is focussed on low-risk driving, otherwise known as defensive driving.

​

Advanced observation and hazard perception/response, along with appropriate speed management, road positioning and decision making are key components of the assessment criteria.

 

I will teach you the best and most effective ways to take a vast amount of pressure off yourself that you may not even realise is there!  You'll also learn how to make the driving test feel much less stressful, and to get better test results in the process. 

Just how difficult is the NSW driving test?

Sydney has the most complex, challenging, and potentially dangerous roads in Australia - and the NSW driving test requirements, as well as generally higher standards of driving proficiency in Sydney, reflects that.

​

How tough is the driving test?  Extremely.  It has to be, to keep you and everyone else as safe as possible on our roads.

​

Driver focus, observation and hazard perception are critical to safe and efficient driving throughout Sydney, and for passing your driving test.

​

For more information about the NSW driver licence test read the NSW Transport Guide to the Driving Test, or for those wanting much more detail, the NSW Transport Driving Test Manual.

Learn how to approach the driving test the right way.

I have the unique perspective of being both a Victorian and NSW Driving Test Specialist. 

​

I regularly consult with Vicroads to ensure driving tests are standardised, equitable and inclusive, and I have personally assessed thousands of real-time driving tests in Victoria.

​

In surprisingly few lessons you can learn the most effective ways to make the driving test so much easier.   It doesn't need to be difficult, and it's possible to take a whole lot of pressure off yourself once you've been shown how to.

​

You can learn how to make it a calm and far safer experience, in a highly controlled environment that feels safe, informative, infinitely patient and genuinely reassuring.​

Reviews

“The idea of learning to drive was so daunting for me, but after just two lessons so far with Todd, I'm already feeling so much better about driving, to the point where I'm genuinely looking forward to the next lesson!  Todd is incredibly patient, level-headed, experienced and knowledgeable, and the wisdom and tips he shares are already proving themselves invaluable on the road.  I consider myself very fortunate to have found Todd as a driving instructor and highly recommend Surry Hills Driver Training to anyone learning to drive!”
