Hook turns, roundabouts, intersections and more — five short videos covering the road rules that trip up the most learners on Melbourne streets and on the VicRoads test itself.
Most test fails don't come from dramatic mistakes — they come from small, specific moments: a missed give-way at a roundabout, a hesitant hook turn, creeping into a blocked intersection. Watch each video below, then book a lesson with Kev to actually practise it on real Melbourne roads.
Melbourne is one of the only places in the world where you'll need to know this. If your test route runs through the CBD, you may be required to perform a hook turn — and getting it wrong is a quick way to lose points. This video breaks down the exact sequence so it stops feeling like a trick question.
Give-way rules, lane choice and indicating at the right moment — roundabouts are consistently one of the most common point-loss areas on the VicRoads test. This video covers the core rules every driver needs before tackling Melbourne's busier multi-lane roundabouts.
Entering an intersection when you can't fully clear it is illegal in Victoria and treated as a serious error by VicRoads assessors. Melbourne's grid of busy inner-city intersections makes this an easy trap when traffic is heavy — this video explains how to judge the gap correctly.
How you behave at a signalised pedestrian crossing is closely watched on test day — hesitating too long or rolling forward too early are both common mistakes. This video covers the basics of reading the signals and giving pedestrians the right of way every time.
Trams, cyclists, pedestrians and other cars all share Melbourne's roads at once. Knowing how to give each one the right amount of space and attention isn't just a test requirement — it's the habit that keeps you safe for the rest of your driving life.
Watched all five? The next step is practising them on real Melbourne roads with someone who'll correct you on the spot.
Book a Lesson with Kev →If your test route passes through a signed hook turn intersection — common in the Melbourne CBD — you may need to perform one. Kev covers hook turns in lessons for any student testing near the city.
Entering an intersection when you cannot fully clear it is treated as a serious error by VicRoads assessors and is also against Victorian road rules. It's one of the more common reasons learners lose points or fail.
No — these videos are a free supplement to help you understand the road rules conceptually. Actually practising hook turns, roundabouts and intersections with a qualified instructor is what builds the muscle memory and confidence you need on test day.
Roundabout give-way rules, lane choice and indicating correctly are consistently one of the most common point-loss areas on the VicRoads test. Kev gives every student dedicated roundabout practice before test day.
