P1 & P2 Probationary Licence
You’ve Got Your Licence – Now Let’s Master the Road Together
So you’ve passed your test – congratulations! But here’s the thing: getting your P-plates is just the beginning. The probationary period is when the real learning happens, and that’s exactly where Monika’s Driving School comes in. We’re here in Sunshine West to help you go from nervous new driver to confident road user.
Think about it – suddenly you’re driving solo, dealing with peak-hour traffic on Ballarat Road, merging onto the Western Ring Road, or navigating tricky roundabouts without your instructor beside you. It’s normal to feel a bit overwhelmed! Our P1 and P2 programs focus on the stuff that matters: defensive driving, handling challenging situations, building your confidence on freeways, and developing the judgment that keeps you safe when things don’t go to plan.
We get it – as a P-plater, you’re dealing with lower demerit points, restrictions, and maybe even some peer pressure from mates. Our instructors have seen it all and they’re here to help you develop the skills and smarts you need to stay safe, avoid costly mistakes, and actually enjoy your newfound driving freedom. Let’s make sure those P-plate years set you up for a lifetime of safe, confident driving.
Get Your Overseas Licence In A Week
New to Australia? Let’s Get You Driving in No Time
Just arrived in Australia with an overseas licence? We know how frustrating it can be – you’ve been driving for years back home, but suddenly you’re stuck catching trains and buses around Sunshine West. The good news? Monika’s Driving School can have you converted and road-legal in as little as one week. Seriously!
Here’s what makes Australian driving different: we drive on the left (bit weird at first, right?), we’ve got these things called roundabouts everywhere, and if you’re heading into Melbourne’s CBD, you’ll need to master the famous hook turn. Our intensive program gets you comfortable with all of it quickly. We’ll practice on the actual roads you’ll be using – around Sunshine West, Deer Park, and the western suburbs – and prepare you for the VicRoads test using routes our instructors know inside out.
Look, we’ve helped hundreds of international drivers make this transition, from nervous first lessons to passing their test with flying colours. Our instructors understand that you’re not a beginner – you just need to adapt your skills to Aussie roads. We’ll guide you through the whole conversion process, answer all those confusing questions about paperwork, and have you driving independently before you know it. Ready to reclaim your freedom? Let’s do this!
