Carl's Driver Training

Fantastic experience: Carl’s experience in Gungahlin is very good because he knows all of the driving test areas, like the roads where the examiner may take. I passed my test today, because we have a 2hr lesson before the test and then the route we did was very familiar to the examiner’s route

Fantastic experience: Carl was an amazing instructor, and his patience and understanding along with clear and helpful instructions made the learning safe and easy, and his vehicle was very simple to operate

Fantastic experience: amazing experience! welcoming instructor and a very good teacher!

Negative experience: ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Don't take his 5 star rating at face value. Believe it or not, It's a sham! During my few sessions with him, Carl has demonstrated a lack of professionalism as well as questionable driving skills. He made me perform U- turns in places where U turns were not permitted or 3 point turns in places where it is literally impossible to do without increasing the number of turns. He stalled for time when it came to signing my logbook and made extra effort to strip me of my confidence when he realised I was a proficient driver who didn't need many lessons (I took the learner's license because I had an international license that had longsince expired but had obviously retained my driving skills). Carl will try to charge you for any lesson cancellations regardless of the length of the notice period provided and will have the audacity to spam you relentlessly with payment reminders for cancelled lessons you didn't take!! Throughout the lessons, he was needlessly uncourteous and would demand payment whilst supervising me performing the transaction in his car!! As if to suggest I was a fraud. Overall, Carl is not only rude and exploitative but also an instructor with questionable driving knowledge and skills and I strongly feel he needs to be investigated. Y'all have been warned ⚠️

Fantastic experience: Had a class with carl before taking my one off overseas license conversion test. Carl pointed me a couple of mistakes (serious mistakes), and showed me some places where usually examiner prefer to go. In my real exam examinator asked me drive 2/3 of exact locations.

It is definitely the best choice to start your driving journey with Carl. And he always reminds me that nothing is more than your safety. Very appreciate!!!

He was good at explaining safety rules and the reasons behind his advice. He was organised and seemed to keep a record of what he has taught me and what my weaknesses were, and then he strived to help me overcome those issues. I asked him so many questions about road safety/rules whenever we encountered something, and he would explain what we could/should have done etc. He wasn't judgemental, in fact he was very approachable, which is important when you're still new/haven't driven for awhile. I highly recommend Carl!
