3 for 1 bonus hours

When you have professional driving lessons with an NRMA driving instructor, you are eligible to record bonus driving time in your log book.

This Transport for NSW initiative allows learner drivers to log multiple hours when a structured professional driving lesson is completed.

  • Driving with a licensed NSW driving instructor – you can record triple the time of your lesson in your log book. For example, if you have a 1-hour lesson, you can log 3 hours of driving practice.
  • Applying bonus hours – a maximum of 10 hours with a driving instructor can be applied. This means that you can only log up to 20 bonus hours.
  • Number of lessons you can have – there is no limit to how many lessons you can have with a driving instructor. There is only a limit on the number of bonus hours you can log for those lessons.
  • Driving lessons at night – if you have a driving lesson at night, the bonus hours do not count towards your ‘night driving hours’ in your log book. They can only count as daytime driving hours.

NSW Safer Drivers Course

An additional 20 hours of log book credit can be earned when you complete the Safer Drivers Course.

This course has been designed for a learner to attend once, so the 20 hours of bonus log book credit will only be deducted once.

Whilst driving lessons in a manual transmission vehicle are available, sessions are limited and only available in selected areas.

You can find out whether manual driving lessons are available in your area when you enter your location and lesson type. If a manual driving school car is available in your selected location, you will see (manual) in the driving lesson title. 

For example: Initial lesson (manual) 1hr, 30 mins

If a manual driving school car isn’t available in your area but you have access to a manual vehicle, we may be able to provide lessons in your own vehicle on a case by case basis.

Your driving will be assessed in an automatic transmission drive school car first to ensure it is safe for you to complete driving lessons in a vehicle without dual controls.

After your first initial lesson, please have a chat with your driving instructor about completing future lessons in your own manual transmission vehicle. In this instance your vehicle must be comprehensively insured and meet our roadworthy requirements.

We welcome all learner drivers across NSW and ACT. We cater for students of all ages and driving experience.
