He is not only a knowledgeable instructor but also a genuinely supportive teacher who takes the time to ensure his students understand every aspect of driving in Australia. Sohal’s focus on safe and responsible driving really stood out—he instilled confidence by covering everything from road rules to practical tips for handling challenging situations. Thanks to his comprehensive lessons and clear guidance, I was fully prepared for my VORT test and passed it on my very first attempt, and now my overseas licence conversion is completed!

Fantastic experience: My son Lachlan was a learner driver who now has his P Plates. I want to leave a review as David his instructor from Safe Drive SA was amazing. Being a dad doesn’t always mean you can be a good instructor. With his amazing training and communication skills together the three of us has worked together to get my son to a stage where his confidence driving in all conditions and safely was achieved. David has been valuable to me also passing on what areas my son needed extra work in. I highly recommend David from Safe Drive SA to anyone. Especially parents who want the security that their children are safe on the roads because they have been taught correctly. Thank you David at Safe Drive SA.

Fantastic experience: Instructor guy was pretty nice and told me all the specifics of driving that helped me pass the vort. Very chill and casual person, I was comfortable throughout each lesson, allowing me to stay cool even during heated moments when I would make small mistakes. Although at first it may not seem like it, but a few sessions with an instructor are absolutely crucial if you want to pass and I personally recommend the 2-day split with vort (which is what I did). Although it doesn't say on the website, this includes 6 hours over multiple days and the test at the end. I've had other instructors before, but David has to be one of the best out there. He's firm when he needs to be and knows how to approach different scenarios. I would highly recommend this institute if you not only want to pass the vort but also want to learn how to be more safe on the road and drive properly. There are also more things I would like to say but for the sake of trade secrets, I'll end my message here. Yours Truly, anno manno

Fantastic experience: Sohal was a great driving instructor, was direct and affirming while also understanding of any inconveniences or mistakes. He was able to effectively use hand drawn diagram's throughout the lessons to illustrate teaching moments and show hypothetical scenarios. Sohal was switched on enough to quickly determine my weak points in my driving from previous experience in the country, and teach the methods of forward planning, observation and judgement. Overall, I believe he has made me a safe driver and I am very confident driving around the city irrespective of traffic and/or weather. Cheers Rob

Jeff's professionalism not only corrected some of my bad driving habits but also strengthened my good ones. He adeptly explains and demonstrates maneuvers, providing personalised feedback that boosted my confidence behind the wheel. Jeff's patience, encouragement, and support were invaluable, helping me recognize my driving abilities even when I doubted them. Thanks to Jeff's guidance, I passed my VORT test on my first attempt.

I am so glad David was recommended to us, I literally couldn’t fault him. After every lesson he gave us advice on things to practice. Nothing was too much trouble. He even picked our daughter up after school for lessons. I will be recommending him to anyone that needs a driving instructor and I will certainly be using him when my youngest daughter turns 18.

Fantastic experience: David Murphy was fantastic. I had an awful experience with another instructor who taught me as though I was clueless (instead of acknowledging that I have 20+years driving experience overseas) and I had massive anxiety about driving again post partum. David is very calm, and he instilled confidence in me again. He corrected some bad habits I’ve acquired over the years and reinforced the good ones. He knows how to cater and tweak his style to an experienced overseas driver and first time mom like me. He was very clear in his instructions and just a good person overall!! Highly recommended! Thanks again David for teaching me well and encouragement during our lessons. So glad that I have finally passed the VORT and have my Australian driver’s license!

Fantastic experience: Steve is amazing, I’ve been doing lessons with him to get familiar with the rules before commencing my volt test, he is so patient and encouraging, very firm when its needed which is really important for our safety! Not only just rules, he prioties safety + how to build confidence on driving. Before Steve I’ve done 7 hours with different instructors, but none of them cannot compete I am glad to have him as my instructor!! Thanks Steve!

Fantastic experience: After enduring a disappointing experience with a previous instructor who was recommended to me in Port Adelaide, I turned to the internet for a more reliable option, and all the good reviews on Google led to Safe Drive SA. From the very first message exchange, I could tell that they cared about my learning process more than anything. I was fortunate to find David and Steve, they are truthful, kind, and respectful. Steve is a one-of-a-kind instructor, he doesn't just talk about driving — he demonstrates it, ensuring clarity in every maneuver. Steve's patience and professionalism were evident in every session. He provided personalized feedback that was tailored to my individual needs which greatly contributed to my progress and confidence behind the wheel. He created a supportive learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification on any aspect of driving.

Fantastic experience: From start to finish, my experience with Sohal was great. Sohal's professionalism, expertise, and willingness to answer questions were evident from my very first lesson. Sohal tailored each lesson to my needs, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His concise and encouraging feedback helped me overcome any anxieties I had about certain manoeuvres. I made great progress during my lessons, and passed my test on the first go. Not only is Sohal an excellent instructor, he also cares about his students' success, I felt as if I had done Sohal proud. Thanks to Sohal's expertise, I now feel confident and prepared to tackle driving situations that come my way. I highly recommend Sohal to anyone in need of an instructor who truly prepares you for your VORT test.

Nyasha Nziramasanga 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I finally got my license and happy with the service Safe Drive SA offer, they were honest, professional and guided me through the whole process of transferring my international driving licence to an Australian license. If you are transferring your international driving licence to an Australian drivers license listen to David’s advice as you will definitely need a few practice lesson’s before the test. I learnt this the hard way by not practicing enough and thinking I could drive and eventually failing my first test. However, after a few more lessons with Steve I became more confident and now I’m happy that I now have my license

YENNIFER MORENO 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came from Venezuela with my hubby and we used to live in Sydney where transport is awesome, so I didn't need to convert my overseas license. But then we moved to Adelaide with our 2 kids under 5. In here, it is absolutely necessary to have a car and specially if you have kids. (Taxis are a pain and very expensive and not always available, busese every hour in the suburb we live and sometimes we spent 2 hours one way because of the transportation system in here when by car only takes 20 min). It is then when I decided to proceed with my driving lessons in order to obtain my licence. I initially went to another driving school where I receive some lessons but to be honest I felt something was not right about that school and I have stopped my classes with them and a friend of mine recommended me Safe Drive SA. I contacted them for the full day plus vort package (split it in 2 days) and they were very kind and responsive, they asked me about my driving and I was completely honest about it (my frontal parking and parallel parking were horrible). Then I met Steve, my driving instructor. He was absolutely amazing in his way to explain every detail about how to drive properly, safe and corrected the previous manoeuvres I had from the previous school. He explained to me how important is to be safe and we have to drive properly, he always was calm and spoke very softly. He made me practice the manoeuvres a lot of times and gave me great details about seconds, checkings, mirrors that I didn't know before but wow, improved my manoeuvres like 100%. David, the examiner was very calm, respectful, and his instructions were very clear. He made me feel confident and gave me feedback after my test (which I passed btw) I told them this before and I will say it again: Thank you!!!! Thank you!!! THANK YOU! your way of teaching is absolutely fantastic and I recommend Safe Drive SA to all the people in Adelaide. I wish I could met them before my previous school. They are absolutely worth it. I can thank you enough! It was a pleasure to meet you. Yennifer Moreno

Fantastic experience: David was so wonderful! He was very accommodating and very quick to get lessons started once reaching out to him which is fantastic. Extremely calm, kind and supportive throughout each lesson and my journey. Taught very valuable skills and helped build up my confidence being on the roads. I couldn’t recommend David enough. He is fantastic with learners at all different stages of their driving journey. I am an older learner (in my late 20s). I had a terrible experience with a driving school years ago which put me off. David was patient and a great instructor. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend!
