Driving Lessons in Vermont South

Vermont South has something most eastern suburbs don’t: trams. The route 75 tram runs along Burwood Highway and ends right here, so learning to drive in Vermont South means learning to share the road with trams from day one. CoolCat Driving School gives driving lessons right across Vermont South 3133, with pick-up from home, school or work included. You can book online or call 0407 185 519.

Sharing Burwood Highway with the route 75 tram

Trams change the way you drive. On Burwood Highway, you need to watch for trams before turning right across the tracks, keep out of their way, and stay alert for passengers at tram stops. These are skills many learners in other suburbs never practise until they reach the city.

We take you through it step by step, starting at quiet times of day before building up to busier traffic.

Springvale Road, Morack Road and quiet courts

Vermont South is bordered by Springvale Road on one side and Dandenong Creek on the other. In between are quiet courts and crescents, perfect for first lessons, three-point turns and reverse parallel parking. Morack Road and Livingstone Road connect them to the main roads, giving you a natural step up from quiet streets to busy arterials.

Fun fact for Neighbours fans: Pin Oak Court, the real street used as Ramsay Street, is in Vermont South. Yes, we can drive past it.

Car parks and low-speed control

The big car parks along Burwood Highway, including the shopping centre and the large hardware store, are great places at quiet times to practise reversing, parking between lines, and watching for pedestrians and trolleys.

Your drive test

Vermont South learners test at VicRoads’ Mitcham Testing and Inspection Centre at 93A Heatherdale Road, Ringwood. We drive the roads around the centre during your lessons, so test day doesn’t bring any surprises.
