Kangaroo Point's unique geography — a peninsula bounded on three sides by the Brisbane River — makes it one of the most interesting and challenging suburbs to learn to drive in. The long, straight Main Street is excellent for developing speed awareness and following distances. The winding riverside roads around Captain Burke Park provide practice on bends and crests. The approaches to the Story Bridge demand confident lane selection and merging skills.
The steep gradient of the Kangaroo Point cliffs area and the hills along River Terrace provide excellent hill start and downhill braking practice. Many Kangaroo Point learners initially find hill starts daunting, but our instructors break this skill down specifically and patiently until it becomes second nature. By the time you are leaving the area on a hill in traffic, it will feel natural.
Learning to drive near the Story Bridge specifically prepares you for bridge and high-speed approach driving — an important skill for any Brisbane driver who will regularly use the Gateway Motorway, the Story Bridge or the William Jolly Bridge. Our instructors teach approaching these structures at appropriate speeds with correct lane positioning.
