When learning to drive, one of the most important decisions is choosing where to take your lessons — in the city or the suburbs. Each environment offers different benefits, and the right choice depends on your goals, experience, and confidence behind the wheel.
If you’re based in Kalkallo, Greenvale, or Westmeadows, Hari Safe Driving School is here to help you decide the best approach and guide you through your journey from Ls to Ps — confidently and safely.
Learning to Drive in the City: Pros & Cons
City driving (like in inner Melbourne) presents high traffic volumes, complex intersections, trams, cyclists, and limited parking. While challenging, it does offer advantages.
✅ Advantages
- Excellent for mastering traffic lights, roundabouts, and peak-hour driving
- Prepares you for high-pressure environments and quick decision-making
- Great for building confidence in complex road scenarios
❌ Disadvantages
- It can be overwhelming for beginners
- Heavy traffic slows down learning
- Parking and test routes are often more stressful
