Our Driving Instructor in Adelaide
Will teach you everything you need to know
What will you learn in your driving lesson with our driving instructor?
At The Right Gear we appreciate that every client is unique. We adapt our teaching techniques to ensure everyone progresses as fast as possible and finds the experience of learning to drive both positive and enjoyable.
Everything we teach is to the exact government standard so when our learners are assessed by an examiner, everything is performed correctly. This is why we don’t offer a specified number of driving lessons and VORT package.
We pride ourselves on our honesty and will only recommend a client attempt a VORT test when they have a realistic chance of passing.
Lesson Plan
- For the first lesson we always discuss the clients goals and whether these goals are short term or long term. For example, the client may have just started driving and wants to learn proper car control, how to be safe in traffic and to learn to identify hazards so they can accumulate practice hours safely and drive correctly from the very beginning. Or maybe the clients wants to prepare for a VORT test, therefore our approach would be quite different.
- For the beginner driver the first thing we teach is called “Pull Push Steering”. This is the approved government method of car control and is by far the safest way to drive. It minimises the risk of injury should the air bag deploy.
- As a client’s car control improves we take them to roads with low level traffic to develop their abilities and gain confidence being around other drivers. Throughout this process we teach them how to forward plan to avoid potential hazards and the correct observations they should be making to keep themselves and other drivers safe.
- This is then followed by how to correctly engage with other drivers at roundabouts and traffic lights. Most car accidents happen in either of these potentially hazardous locations. Therefore we provide detailed explanations with the use of diagrams on the correct observations required when approaching and leaving a roundabout or intersection. This ensures should another driver breach a road rule they are far better placed to avoid a potential accident.
- There are five basic manoeuvres required to be performed correctly to past a VORT test. They are Angle Parking, Three Point Turn, Parallel or Reverse Parking, U-Turn and Hill Start. The procedures are quite specific and we teach each manoeuvre exactly as it would be assed in a VORT test.
- To keep the lessons engaging and interesting we always focus on a variety of tasks to bring all aspects of on-road driving and ability to perform the five basic manoeuvres up to the recognised government standard.

Get my “first” test past with the coaching from Chris. Failed twice before with another instructor and Chris rebuilt my confidence. Can’t thank you enough Chris.

Chris was such a kind and very patient instructor to my son. My son was nervous but Chris made him feel comfortable and safe behind the wheel. I highly recommend Chris if you’re after a patient driving instructor. Thanks Chris for your help!

I highly recommend Chris as a driving instructor. I have been through many instructors and none were able to make me feel confident on the road like Chris has. He is straight to the point and provides constructive feedback. I now have my P’s after my first VORT attempt, largely due to Chris’s teaching. Thanks!

Chris was such a kind and patient instructor! I really appreciated his amazing humour and how he made me feel relaxed and comfortable behind the wheel. I had not been driving long when I started with Chris, but he was always supportive, he put me at ease and didn't get grumpy no matter how many times I made the same mistake. Thank you for a truly great experience!

I am so lucky that I came across Chris, after having various driving instructors that didn’t work out, I was so nervous to get back into driving. Chris was the absolute best instructor and made me feel so comfortable and safe behind the wheel. Chris was so professional but always managed to make the lessons so enjoyable, and make me laugh! He pushed me to believe and trust in myself and my driving, he built up my confidence so quickly, and was so accommodating to my needs while learning. With his amazing help I was able to get my license so quickly and am confidently and safely driving! I cannot recommend Chris enough - I wish I found him sooner! Thank you a million Chris!
