Driving lessons next to your test centre
The Ryde Service Centre, where many local learners sit their driving test, is inside Macquarie Centre at the corner of Herring Road and Waterloo Road. Learning in Macquarie Park means the roads around your test centre become familiar long before test day.
Macquarie Park is a busy business and university precinct, so lessons here cover what the driving test focuses on: noticing hazards and responding to them. Think multi-lane roads, dedicated turning lanes at traffic lights, buses, cyclists and pedestrians crossing between offices, the university and the shopping centre.
We pick up from your home, workplace or Macquarie University and plan lessons around your timetable, 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm. Many of our Macquarie Park students are international students and skilled migrants, and lessons are available in English, Hindi and Punjabi.
Driving in Macquarie Park: local roads and what to practise
Lane Cove Road, Epping Road, Waterloo Road, Herring Road and Talavera Road carry heavy traffic at peak times, with multiple lanes and dedicated turning lanes. Choosing the right lane early and changing lanes with a proper head check are the key skills here.
The Macquarie Centre car park is worth practising too. Test bays are reached through the Waterloo Road Express Carpark entrance, and calmly navigating a busy car park, with pedestrians and reversing cars, is part of getting to and from your test.
Quieter residential streets in North Ryde and Marsfield are used for reverse parking, three-point turns and moving off from the kerb.
