No. While we can help to prepare you, driving assessments are carried out by the Department of Transport and need to be booked with them.
More information is available here: PDA Bookings (transport.wa.gov.au)
Yes you can. Should you wish to accompany your learner driver you must let us know at the time of booking – we need to obtain permission from all parties.
Yes, we log any hours you spend completing lessons with us into your logbook.
We require 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson. This allows us to book other clients in for that time.
Preferable method of payment is EFTPOS either at the time of booking, on the day or over the phone.
We also work with a number of businesses to assist employees in their licensing journey – if you are completing driving lessons as part of your employment you can provide a Purchase Order.
You MUST bring your learner’s permit. Without this, we cannot allow you to drive our vehicles. We also recommend bringing your logbook, a water bottle and comfortable, closed-in shoes.
Our office in Roebourne is calm and peaceful and you are welcome to sit your test here without any external pressures. The Department of Transport in Karratha also provides a testing area if you would prefer to take the test and receive your permit on the spot.
In order to sit your theory test, a combination of five original documents must be presented to verify your full name, date of birth and current residential address (proof of residency in WA). These documents must meet the Department of Transport’s proof of identity requirements as outlined here: Your Secure Identity Meeting proof of identity requirements for initial applications (transport.wa.gov.au)
We can help you to source appropriate identification documents if you don’t have easy access to them. Please contact our office directly on 9185 8806 or email coordinator@reddirtdriving.com.au
A number of times a year, Remote Services from the Department of Transport will come out to Roebourne to conduct practical driving assessments (PDAs). Department of Transport do not take bookings over this period, it is, first in best dressed! We’ll promote these visits through the local Roebourne Community Calendar and our social media platforms.
If you are unable to provide your own car for the PDA, you may hire one of our vehicles at a cost of $110 for the hour. Book a car here.
If you’re having difficulty reading or understanding your theory test our RDDA team are able to help clarify questions. Please note, we are unable to give hints or answers.
If you don’t pass your theory test you are able to sit it again. You can either wait until you’re feeling more confident or come right back in the next day and try again.
It is free to sit your Learner’s Theory Test in our Roebourne office. You can also sit at the Department of Transport in Karratha – the test there is computerised and costs $20.20, with each supplementary costing $16.10.
