Choose your lessons
Practise steering, observation and speed control without coordinating a clutch. Choose an automatic instructor from the local profiles.
Work on clutch control, gear choice and smooth starts alongside your observation. Select the manual profile when booking.
Tell the instructor what you already practise confidently and what still needs prompts. That gives the review a useful starting point.

Practice and feedback
For a lesson after school, identify a driving goal as well as your finish time. James might assess a manoeuvre you have been practising or the observation behind a turn. A short list of questions from supervised driving makes that feedback easier to put into practice afterwards.
Coastwide instructors serving Laidley are Queensland-accredited. Our instructor-provided lesson cars have dual controls. We are part of a group that has helped students pass their test since 1959.
Plan your lesson
View current lesson and package prices. Most Coastwide lessons run for 60 to 90 minutes; check the duration on the product you choose.
Match the profile to the transmission you want, then look at actual availability. Share any nerves or learning priorities before the lesson so your instructor can plan with you.
Agree your pickup
Send the exact Laidley school or home address and the time you will be ready. If a lesson begins after classes, agree where you will meet and where it should finish.
Laidley State High School is listed at 98 Alfred Street, Laidley. Use that Alfred Street address for a proposed school pickup, rather than the address of another Laidley service.
Its current TMR listing at 9 Spicer Street is for vehicle and vessel registration and explicitly excludes driver licensing. It does not establish a practical car-test service. Check the actual testing centre with TMR and James before booking test-day support.
Ipswich lists practical car tests at 2 Colvin Street, North Ipswich. Ask Coastwide to confirm instructor and test-car availability for your chosen centre before booking with TMR.
The standard Test Day Package is for existing customers who have completed at least one Coastwide lesson. Some instructors accept new test customers by arrangement. Confirm the instructor, centre and time before reserving your government test.
