Learning in Leichhardt

A clear plan for your next drive.

Tim Carss is currently listed for automatic and manual lessons in Leichhardt. Select the transmission you need before comparing appointments. This page is for Leichhardt in Ipswich, Queensland; include the full street address when arranging where your lesson will begin.

Jim Finimore is a council sports reserve at 1C Old Toowoomba Road, Leichhardt. If you are combining a lesson with training or another commitment, discuss the timing and meeting point with Tim. A reserve name helps explain the area but does not replace an agreed collection address.

A familiar trip can provide a useful learning goal. Practise preparing for turns early, checking what is happening beside parked vehicles and leaving room for people moving between cars. Your instructor will choose appropriate roads and exercises for your experience and the conditions.

For manual lessons, work on clutch and gear coordination while keeping your observation routine going. For automatic lessons, use the simpler controls to give full attention to positioning, speed and space. Neither transmission removes the need to anticipate what other road users might do.

Bring a question from your supervised practice. Perhaps you hesitate at junctions or find it difficult to judge a gap without feeling hurried. Tim can help you work through the decision and agree a manageable practice task, rather than leaving you with only a general instruction to drive more.

If you already have a practical test booked, share its centre, date and time when discussing preparation. Ipswich TMR conducts practical tests at 2 Colvin Street, North Ipswich. Lessons build skills for different roads; they do not guarantee a particular test route, result or test-day vehicle.

Your next step

From the first lesson to test day.

01

Start with a plan

Bring your current learner licence and tell your instructor what you have already practised. Check your seating position, mirrors and controls before moving off. Your instructor can explain how the dual controls support the lesson and agree a manageable starting point.

First-time Queensland car learners complete PrepL or the written road rules test before applying for a learner licence. Follow the conditions on your own licence.

Learner licence guide →
02

Make practice count

Under 25? You normally need 100 supervised logbook hours, including 10 at night. Up to your first 10 eligible accredited-trainer hours can count as 30 daytime hours. The same time cannot count as both triple credit and night driving.

Use each lesson to identify a skill you can reinforce during supervised practice. Keep your records accurate and ask about any requirements that differ for your circumstances.

Check logbook rules →
03

Prepare for the assessment

Pass the hazard perception test before booking your practical test. Have your logbook approved where required, check eligibility and confirm the car and centre. A mock driving test gives you feedback on observations, positioning and decisions without promising a particular result.

Need parallel parking or roundabout practice? Tell your instructor what needs work so the preparation has a clear purpose.
