Your independence shouldn’t have an expiration date. At Monika’s Driving School, we understand that driving is crucial for maintaining your lifestyle in Melbourne West. Our Senior Driving Lessons—personally designed by Monika—are not about passing a test; they are about providing the confidence, knowledge, and modern skills required to navigate today’s traffic safely. Whether you’re preparing for an official VicRoads assessment, feeling rusty, or simply want to update your skills, our patient, friendly, and specialised instruction ensures you remain a secure and confident driver for years to come.
What is an Older Driving Assessment?
A thorough assessment of a driver’s abilities, cognitive processes, and physical capabilities while operating a vehicle is known as an Older Driving Assessment. It goes much beyond a typical licensing exam. Consider it a proactive driving health examination. Our objective is to find any age-related changes that might have an impact on driving performance and offer helpful, tailored feedback. This isn’t about passing or failing; it’s about understanding your current capabilities and creating a plan for safe driving.

Our Assessment Is Ideal For:
This is not a formal medical or VicRoads assessment. Instead, it is a helpful, private, and stress-free way to check your driving skills with a professional instructor.
Drivers aged 70+ wanting confidence
Seniors preparing for licence renewal
Drivers who feel less comfortable in busy traffic
Anyone wanting reassurance about their skills
Families wanting peace of mind for loved ones
Our Older Driving Assessment Process
Designed for Comfort, Clarity & Senior-Friendly Support
We follow a simple, transparent, and supportive three-step process:
Step 1
Pre-Assessment Conversation
We begin with a relaxed discussion about:
- Your driving experience
- Any concerns you may have
- Situations that feel challenging
- Your goals (renewal preparation, confidence, refresher, etc.)
This ensures your instructor tailors the drive to your needs.
Step 2
On-Road Senior Driving Check
You will drive through gentle, real-world Melbourne routes that match your comfort level.
We assess areas such as:
- Observation & mirror checks
- Gap selection
- Safe lane changing
- Speed management
- Roundabouts & merging
- Intersections & decision-making
- Parking & manoeuvres
- Confidence in traffic
This is not a test; it’s a supportive assessment. You can ask questions at any time.
Step 3
Friendly Feedback & Next Steps
After the drive, your instructor provides:
- Supportive feedback
- Clear suggestions (if needed)
- Optional refresher lessons
- Tips for safe driving
- Preparation advice for any upcoming VicRoads assessments
Our aim is to encourage, empower, and support you, not to judge or criticize.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Absolutely not. Your assessment is confidential. We only have a legal obligation to report in extreme cases of immediate and serious risk, which we would always discuss with you first. Our role is to support you, not police you.
No. Our Older Driving Assessment is a private service for your own knowledge and safety. The VicRoads test is the official licence renewal test. Our assessment can be excellent preparation for it.
This is a sensitive topic we handle with the utmost care. We would discuss all findings openly and help you explore alternatives and transitions, focusing on your ongoing independence and well-being.
If you have specific concerns or it's been suggested by a doctor or family, start with an assessment. If you just feel a bit rusty, a refresher may be enough. We're happy to advize you, just give us a call.
