Driving lessons in Ryde, near your test centre
The Ryde Service Centre, inside Macquarie Centre at the corner of Herring Road and Waterloo Road in North Ryde, offers driving tests by appointment. For learners in Ryde and the surrounding suburbs, it's often the most convenient place to sit the test.
That makes Ryde a practical place to learn. Lessons can include the busy multi-lane roads, traffic lights and roundabouts around Macquarie Park, alongside quieter residential streets for parking and manoeuvre practice.
Early lessons focus on the basics on calmer streets. As you progress, you'll move onto roads like Victoria Road, Lane Cove Road and Epping Road, practising lane discipline, merging and observation in heavier traffic.
Driver's ED is based next door in Gladesville, so pick-up across Ryde is quick and always included. Lessons run 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm, in English, Hindi or Punjabi.
