If you are exempt from taking any practical driving tests then you will not be affected by this.<\/p>\n<p>Besides all these licencing rules, Individuals will need\u00a0 to have an understanding Victorian road rules and regulations, as it is extremely important especially given that the rules of driving in Australia and Victoria are pretty different from other countries. We have rules on driving with trams, doing proper hook turns, roundabout rules that may differ from your home country.<\/p>\n<p>We also offer practical training sessions to many interstate drivers or international drivers who are able to covert their lessons without undertaking a practical driving test. This will enable the international or interstate driver to become familiar with the unique aspects of driving on Victorian roads.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1374&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643956469637{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1374&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How can our driving instructors in Hawthorn assist?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:32px|text_align:left|color:%23c72027|line_height:35px&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Our <b>driving school in Hawthorn <\/b>would recommend booking in a lesson with our qualified driving Instructors as this will give our licenced Instructors an opportunity to assess your\u00a0 driving standard against VicRoads driving criteria.
