Fantastic experience: As a parent of a young driver who obtained his manual driver license through Kickstart (Steve) I can highly recommend him. My son went to Kickstart to polish off his skills for the test. First drive he was assessed as only requiring a small number of lessons towards understanding the test routes and requirements of the test. Me as a parent was permitted to sit in those lessons to learn the routes so practice on the test routes was possible between lessons. Steve was always prompt, encouraging, and instructive, and his extensive experience of being a VicRoads tester previously ensured my son was well informed about the test process. Steve also enforced the need to continue to be a safe driver, especially through the highest risk years after obtaining P's. Thank you Steve for your service to my son to help him obtain his license.
Thank you Brad.. Hope Jacob is continuing to drive safely

From our initial contact to Luke successfully going for his manual licence Steve has been amazing.

Without hesitation we would highly recommend Steve from Kickstart Driving School.
