Giving way around Maroondah Hospital

Maroondah Hospital is in Ringwood East, so ambulances with lights and sirens are a regular sight. Knowing exactly what to do is essential: stay calm, check your mirrors, and move out of the way safely and legally. We also cover the hospital’s busy entrances, where cars pull in and out and pedestrians cross.

Hill starts towards the Dandenongs

Head east along Mount Dandenong Road or up Dublin Road and the land starts to rise. That makes Ringwood East a great place to practise hill starts, holding the car on a slope and controlling your speed downhill. If you’re learning manual in our MX-5, these hills will turn clutch control into second nature.

The village and the station

The shops around Ringwood East station have parked cars, delivery vans, pedestrians and buses all sharing a small space. It’s great practice for low-speed observation, parallel parking and pulling out from the kerb safely.

Your drive test

Ringwood East learners test at VicRoads’ Mitcham Testing and Inspection Centre at 93A Heatherdale Road, Ringwood, a short drive west through Ringwood. We’ll practise the roads around the centre and the busy Maroondah Highway on the way there.
