Take the Wheel Driving School, an owner/operator company based in Noranda, are here to help you reach your goal of passing your Manual Practical Driving Assessment (PDA). Take the Wheel is operated by Michael Brittain, a Certificate IV & Keys 2 Drive Qualified Driving Instructor. This is the highest level of instruction currently available. Michael believes that students should be encouraged to learn to drive a manual car as this will give them a far greater scope to drive all types of vehicles in years to come. He also believes this discourages the practice of "Texting & Driving", a real problem in our society now. Learning to drive a manual car allows you to really be "in tune" or at one with your car. Dual control provides confidence.

When it came to test day, it was a great success with acing it! Can’t wait to get behind the wheel and drive myself. Thanks Mike.

Negative experience: Reply update: Golly! That is a lot of words to say you can't take responsibility for your own actions. Excellent driving instructor for Perth conditions. If you need someone to teach you: How to do 10 under in the right lane How to brake check a car when they high beam you for going slow And how to speed up to the limit when someone tries to overtake Then take the wheel driving is the school for you!

Hello Ray, thank you for your incredibly one sided & unfactual review, Keyboard Warriors like you are always quick to back up their stupid actions with BS. You forgot to mention that the reason I was driving at 50 kilometres per hour in a 60 zone was the fact that I was slowing down in eavy traffic to allow the car in front of me to make a right hand turn into their driveway. The fact that you almost ran into the back of my car was down to you wanting to speed through this section of road. Then you decided it would be a great idea to honk & flash your headlights repeatedly to try & force me to speed. I continued to travel at 60 kms per hour in the 60 zone & then slowed down to 40 in the 40 zone, much to your disgust when you flashed & honked me again. You may think it's ok to drive above the speed limit & tailgate other drivers, I don't. Maybe you should look at your own driving habits & actions before you criticise others, on several occasions you nearly ran into the back of my car due to your aggresive driving. Not sure if you had your family in the car when you nearly hit me but if you did it would have been a bad situation for you. Have a nice night & continue having fun writing BS reviews for people you don't know, I think the 160 or so students who have written reviews before you will vouch for the fact that you are full of BS!

Fantastic experience: Michael is an amazing instructor. He got me from 0 manual driving experience to a first go pass in only 10 lessons. He is funny, has an amazing sense of humour but is also at the same time extremely patient and highly professional. I would recommend Michael to anyone as I had the best experience with him without one fault and would give him an unlimited amount of stars if possible. Thankyou for everything Michael!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to let other parents of teenagers learning to drive know, how fantastic Michael is. My daughter was confident heading up to her Driving Test but would not have passed without Michael's instruction on the finer points that the Instructors would be looking out for. This required her to have a few lessons. Michael is easy to talk to and has a protective and caring manner towards his clients, which made my daughter feel relaxed and at ease. Thank you Michael! We passed first go! :)

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Michael by some fellow driving instructors. I had already obtained a full automatic license but had recently purchased a manual car for a great deal. Having a manual car but not being able to drive it was frustrating so when I reached out to Michael for some lessons he made the process of learning manual very simple, and communicated the important aspects of driving manual clearly and easily. Doing a combination of lessons and sitting the regional PDA with Mike really fast-tracked the process of learning to drive a manual car. I’m stoked to be on the roads now and driving a manual car, which once seemed quite daunting, is now pretty fun. Would highly recommend Mike to teach you the fundamentals of driving a manual car.

Michael Macri 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son had several driving lessons with another driving school and tried a number of times to pass his driving test. My son's school friend recommended we try Michael for lessons. I gave Michael a call and he took him out for his first lesson. Michael found that my son was a competent driver and just needed some encouragement to get his confidence up. Michael was very understanding and indicated that we didn't need to pay for many more lessons as he was already a competent driver. I insisted on my son doing a couple more lessons after which he took the test and passed. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. If it wasn't for his encouragement my son wouldn't be driving today.

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Michael for refining my daughters manual driving skills. She is now a cheerful, confident road user who can tackle any road situation. She spoke very highly of his relaxed friendly teaching approach, something often lacking in her dad’s method. This is my second child to have passed their drivers test after receiving lessons from Michael so I have no hesitation in recommending Take the Wheel to anyone seeking professional driving lessons.
