Northcote sits in Melbourne's inner north, bordered by Fitzroy North, Thornbury, Preston and Clifton Hill. For learner drivers, Northcote presents a distinctive mix of challenges — the tram routes along High Street, the busy intersections at Plenty Road and St Georges Road, school zones near Northcote High School, and the residential grid of back streets between Separation Street and the Merri Creek.
At Freshers, our Northcote driving lessons are built around the roads you will actually encounter on your VicRoads drive test — and on every journey you take after you get your licence. We know Northcote intimately. Every tram stop, every give-way sign, every speed zone change on High Street — your instructor has driven them hundreds of times and will make sure you're completely comfortable before your test day.
