Turn your overseas experience into a NSW licence
If you've been driving for years in another country, you don't need to learn to drive from scratch. What you do need is to drive the way the NSW Driving Test expects: NSW give-way rules, roundabouts, school zones, speed limits that change often, and very deliberate observation habits.
What you need to do depends on the country that issued your licence. Drivers from some countries can transfer their licence, while drivers from many others, including India, need to pass the Driver Knowledge Test and the Driving Test. Check your exact requirements with Service NSW before you book anything.
Lessons focus on the gaps between how you drive now and what the test assesses, so most experienced drivers need a handful of targeted lessons rather than a full course. Your first lesson shows what to work on.
You can learn in English, Hindi or Punjabi, with pick-up across Gladesville, Ryde, Macquarie Park, the North Shore, Hornsby and the Northern Beaches.
What overseas drivers usually need to change
- Head checks: checking over your shoulder (not just your mirrors) every time you change lanes, merge or pull out from the kerb.
- Full stops: stopping completely at stop signs and stop lines, even when the road looks clear.
- Roundabouts and give-way rules: giving way to vehicles already on the roundabout, and applying the rules at unsigned intersections.
- Speed: keeping strictly to the limit, including school zones and limits that drop in shopping strips, and keeping a safe following distance.

Do I need to sit the driving test to convert my overseas licence?
It depends on the country that issued your licence. Drivers from some countries can transfer directly, while drivers from many others, including India, need to pass the Driver Knowledge Test and the Driving Test. Service NSW can confirm what applies to you.
Do I need a learner licence first?
Overseas licence holders who need to sit the Driving Test can usually do so without holding a NSW learner licence first. Check your situation with Service NSW.
How many lessons will I need?
Experienced drivers usually need a handful of targeted lessons. Your first lesson ($75) shows exactly what to work on.
Can I hire your car for the test?
Yes. Car hire is $170, or $250 for the Complete Test Package, which adds a one-hour warm-up lesson and transport to and from the test centre.
Do you teach in Hindi or Punjabi?
Yes. Vik teaches in English, Hindi and Punjabi. Mention your preferred language when you book.
