Calm, respectful refresher lessons before an older driver assessment, on the local roads you drive every day.

Feel ready for assessment day
Preparing for an older driver assessment is about more than getting through it. It's about feeling calm, capable and familiar with what to expect. Reggie's refresher lessons focus on confidence, safe habits and the skills you need to keep driving safely.
Whether you have an assessment coming up, have been advised to do an on-road assessment, or simply want some reassurance, lessons are tailored to you: refreshing road rules, building confidence and practising in familiar Illawarra conditions.
BEST instructor in the Illawarra. Thanks for all your help, you've been amazing. Could not have done it without you.
