Why Mortdale Learners Choose Edge Driver Training
Mortdale is busy in the best and worst ways for a new driver. You’ve got the Morts Road / Boundary Road intersection, the tight round-a-bout near the station, school zones around Penshurst Public and Georges River Grammar, and the fast run along the Illawarra line crossings. Local knowledge matters — and that’s exactly what Was brings.
Here’s what makes Edge Driver Training the easy choice for Mortdale learner drivers:
| Feature | What It Means For You |
|---|---|
| 🚗 5-Star ANCAP-Rated Automatic | You’ll learn in the safest-rated automatic on the Australian market — no need for someone in the family to lend you their car. |
| 🛑 Dual Controls | A second brake and clutch on the instructor’s side. Mistakes are learning moments, not crashes. |
| 🏅 RMS-Accredited Instructor | Was is fully licensed, police-checked, working-with-children checked, and a member of the NSW Driver Trainers Association (NSWDTA). |
| 📓 3-for-1 Bonus Log Book Hours | Every structured 1-hour lesson with Was counts as 3 hours in your NSW log book — up to 10 lessons = 30 logged hours NSW Government. |
| 🗺️ Lesson Planner | A printed plan tailored to your level — what we cover today, what’s next, and exactly what to practice before your test. |
| 🚙 Free Pick-Up & Drop-Off | We collect you from home, school, work or Mortdale station and bring you back. That’s bonus real-world driving time every lesson. |
Meet Was – Your Mortdale Driving Instructor
Was – your driving instructor Hurstville
Was is the kind of instructor patients keep telling their friends about. Patient. Calm. Plain-English explanations. He’ll teach you when to use which signal light, how to change lanes in Mortdale’s peak-hour traffic, what the road rules actually are at the Mortdale roundabout, and how to nail a three-point turn in a quiet residential street without melting under pressure.
This will also help you pick the right lesson package at the end of your first lesson — no hard sell, just honest advice based on how you went and how close you are to test-ready.
You’ll meet the same person every lesson. No random roster, no substitutes, no surprises.

What We’ll Practise on Mortdale Roads
Wase will tailor every lesson to the streets you’ll actually drive — and the roads your test is most likely to use.
Local Mortdale hot spots we cover:
- 🌉 Morts Road level crossing area — gap selection, mirror checks, stopping safely on the slope.
- 🛣️ Boundary Road / Forest Road corridor — lane changes, merging, keeping speed steady through school zones.
- 🔄 The round-a-bout near Mortdale station — give-way rules, lane choice, multi-lane negotiation.
- 🚸 School zones at Penshurst Public & Georges River Grammar — 40 km/h zones, drop-off times, scanning for kids.
- 🏞️ Connecting through to Oatley and Peakhurst — hill starts, reverse parallel parking, three-point turns in residential streets.
- 🛣️ Hurstville CBD approach — the run you’ll most likely do on test day into Woodville Street.
Test-ready skills we’ll drill:
- Reverse parallel parking & reverse into a bay
- Three-point turn in a quiet street
- Hill starts (Mortdale has plenty)
- Roundabouts — including the tricky multi-lane ones
- U-turns done legally and safely
- Speed management in 40 / 50 / 60 zones
- Scanning, mirror checks and blind-spot awareness
- “Hazard perception” — the 30-second scan-and-react routine
Passing Your Driving Test at Hurstville Service NSW
When you’re test-ready, you’ll be booked into Hurstville Service Centre, 4–8 Woodville Street, Hurstville NSW 2220 Service NSW — about 6 minutes’ drive from Mortdale. Was will:
- Drive you there in his own car (already warmed up, dual-control, 5-star ANCAP automatic).
- Run a structured 1-hour pre-test lesson on the same kind of roads the testing officer uses.
- Wait with you so you go in calm, not panicked.
- Lend you the car for the actual test — no need to borrow someone else’s vehicle.
- Pick you up afterwards — either celebrating, or debriefing and re-booking.
And every structured hour with Was counts as 3 log book hours, so your test-package lesson also chips away at your remaining supervised hours requirement.

Doing Your Safer Drivers Course? Here’s How We Help.
If you’re under 25, have held your learner licence for at least 6 months, and have already completed 50 log book hours (excluding 3-for-1 bonus hours), you’re eligible for the NSW Safer Drivers Course — a Transport for NSW initiative that gives you 20 bonus log book hours and a discount on your green-slip insurance NSW Government.
Edge Driver Training complements that course perfectly — Was will help you turn the Safer Drivers Course theory into real, on-road skills across the Mortdale area. Most learners do the Safer Drivers Course first, then book their structured lessons with Was to lock everything in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long is each driving lesson? A: Every lesson runs a full one hour, one-on-one, in the car with Was. The first lesson is always a bit of an assessment so he can tailor your package going forward.
Q: Do I need my own car? A: No. You learn and test in Was’s 5-star ANCAP-rated automatic with dual controls.
Q: Do you offer manual lessons? A: No — Edge Driver Training runs an automatic fleet only. This is intentional: research and Was’s own data show most NSW learners test and drive automatics, and skipping the manual gearbox means less to think about while you’re learning the road rules.
Q: Can I use my lessons for the 3-for-1 log book bonus? A: Yes — every structured one-hour lesson with Was is eligible. You can claim up to 10 lessons (30 logged hours) toward your 120-hour NSW requirement NSW Government.
Q: Where will you pick me up from? A: Anywhere reasonable in the local area — your home, school, TAFE, work, Mortdale station, or a quiet side-street if you prefer.
Q: How do I pay? A: Was will confirm pricing and payment options when you book. Just ask on the call.
Q: Are you accredited? A: Yes. Was is RMS-accredited, police-checked, working-with-children checked and a member of the NSW Driver Trainers Association (NSWDTA) Edge Driver Training.
Q: When can I start? A: Often within the same week. Phone 0422 725 336 and Was will find you a slot.
